I have been trying accounting on a Linux router.

The router has 2 interfaces, and is routing to a class C network from Internet.

I have set up accounting to track traffic to/from each host on the class C:
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.65
ipfwadm -A in  -a -W eth1 -S 195.224.175.65
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.66
ipfwadm -A in  -a -W eth1 -S 195.224.175.66
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.67
ipfwadm -A in  -a -W eth1 -S 195.224.175.67
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.68
ipfwadm -A in  -a -W eth1 -S 195.224.175.68
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.69
ipfwadm -A in  -a -W eth1 -S 195.224.175.69
ipfwadm -A out -a -W eth1 -D 195.224.175.70
etc.

At present I have only got one host - 195.224.175.65 active, however the accounting 
data is as follows:
 2578  667K out all  anywhere             195.224.175.65       n/a
 2605  253K in  all  195.224.175.65       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.66       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.66       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.67       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.67       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.68       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.68       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.69       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.69       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.70       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.70       anywhere             n/a
    1    46 out all  anywhere             195.224.175.71       n/a
    0     0 in  all  195.224.175.71       anywhere             n/a

Can anyone explain what the packet sent to each non-existent host could be?
TIA
