Something is re-broadcasting the announcements back onto a network. I wasn't involved in diagnosis, so going from what I was told: At work, they had this exact same problem in the SF office and they discovered that Sonos music players automatically bridge together any networks they find and join, so there's a bridge built into a player device, which caused packets from MacOS on wifi to go out on wifi, be bridged onto the wired VLAN on the Sonos, then come back into the laptops; from this, it seems it would only affect machines plugged into a wired network. (At which point, one of them suddenly remembered that $previous_employer had banned these devices and now knew why). Something similar may be happening? -Phil _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
