I have been noticing high error rates (between .1 and 1.0 %) on one of
my ethernet segments.  Packets being generated by my Proteon P4200
running V8.1 are the culprit.  The packets give alignment errors and
carry the source and destination ethernet addresses of 020701000000 and
have packet type of Proteon (7030).  I believe that these packets are
used by the p4200 for loopback tests on the Ethernet to see that the
interface is alive. 
                         
So, do you know why these packets give alignment errors? Know how to stop
it?
