This
appears to be multicast traffic..... ie - a one-to-many broadcast application
running on your network, transmitting from several machines on your
network. I'd find out who owns these machines, and what they are
broadcasting??? My guess is that it's some type of conferencing
application. Cheers!
Hi all.. I am new to Ethereal so please excuse my lack
of knowledge. I am also unsure if this is the right list for this kind
of question, if not can someone point me in the right direction??
A slow network lead me to install
Ethereal and see if it could find the problem. When I did the first
capture I saw 70% UDP packets all of which looked like the following:-
Source : 10.0.xxx.xxx
(most PCs on our network)
Destination : 232.47.16.89 (always)
Protocol : UDP
Source port : 1117 (appears to be random, not
always 1117)
Destination port :
47713 (always)
Length
71
Can anyone help? I
have slowed it a bit by implementing filtering on our switch but while that
stops the broadcasts it still slows the PCs. No viruses or spyware found
either.
I have attached a text
file with 2 packets exported from Ethereal.
Thanks
Paul
