One of the things we've done is to start tracking the protocol field in each IP header (to show us which protocols are causing most of our traffic). And before I've even analyzed our data I've found a small anomaly. It clearly isn't causing our traffic problems, but we're receiving packets with the IP protocol field set to 77 decimal. So far it is 21 packets in the past 16 hours). According to RFC 1010 that protocol number is unassigned. Anyone have any guesses what these things are? Craig
