I've noticed some extremely high activity between my main router and my PM3
lately. I thought I was being attacked. After finally being able to
capture it via tcpdump on a UNIX box, I was able to determine that it
involved a dial-up user running Real Audio. What is happening, is that if
the dial-up user drops connection, the PM3 forwards the inbound stream to
the main router which in turn, forwards it back to the PM3 and so on, till
it runs out of lives so to speak.
Should not the PM3 show the IP address as not available? If I ping an
address in the PM3 pool (one that is NOT currently in use) from within my
network I get an "Expired in transit" reply from the IP address of the PM3
itself!
Is this correct?
TIA
