I have run into this situation when I have servers that have incoming UDP traffic and never talk or do TCP. The switches have no idea where the server is, so they broadcast all of the incoming packets. An ARP reply or connecting with TCP tells the switch which port to use. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
