Title: Message
I have to admit - I sat for about five minutes last night staring at the orange Activity light on my cable modem.
 
Not once in that ~5 mins did it go off for even a blink.
 
Some serious traffic exists out there in cable-land....   I do know that the modem drops dhcp requests (it has a rudimentry firewall) but why can't TCNZ drop more traffic at that point.
 
I also understand that part of the push for the new cable plans is changing the equipment in the back...  the many-ported box named Bertha is to be replaced, which forces all the old plans to go.

Dear Andy,

This traffic is generated by one of our servers on the cable modem network and is not malicious in anyway, due to the shared nature of a cable network this activity is not uncommon. The traffic itself isn't routed and so it is not being counted as usage towards your allocated datacap, and I recommend you configure your firewall to ignore/drop and not log this BOOTP traffic.

Kind Regards,
