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?
