Product: lisa
Component: lisa
Summary: Lisa bombards the net with packets
Product: lisa
Version: 3.1.3-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: lisa
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have the LAN at 10.0.0.0/8. tcpdump shows that the lisa tries to do an ARP
request for probably all addresses in the network and literally bombards the net
with packets. I don't know what this might cause on a large network. To add to
this it continues these probes even after the LAN interface goes down.
This can also result in a costly problem. The following happened to me:
- I configured my notebook for GPRS over bluetooth
- I removed the LAN card from my notebook so it does not interfere with the
experiments
- I brought a PPP connection up
- The defaultroute was set to ppp0
- The lisa continued to send packets
- They all travelled to the phone, generating paid traffic :-(
The distribution is Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2
Proposed resolution: don't enable the server by default and document this
problem somewhere
