I've been observing a phenomenon..please see if its ok, or there is a problem:
I've two linux machines on an ethernet. One of them is 192.168.1.1, and the other is
1.2
here's the routing table :
bash-2.03# netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
if i ping the network,
bash-2.03# ping -R 192.168.1.0
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.701 ms
RR: zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=6.563 ms (DUP!)
RR: zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
vicky.kishor.home (192.168.1.1)
vicky.kishor.home (192.168.1.1)
zaphod.kishor.home (192.168.1.2)
there are duplicates...
first...is this ok?There are no duplicates if i ping the other host.
second, while this is on, why are the RX and TX figures for interface lo increasing?
(as shown by output of netstat -i before and after pinging)
bash-2.03# netstat -i
Kernel Interface table
Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth0 1500 0 81 0 0 0 43 0 0 0 BRU
lo 3924 0 17 0 0 0 17 0 0 0 LRU
After ping:
bash-2.03# netstat -i
Kernel Interface table
Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth0 1500 0 83 0 0 0 45 0 0 0 BRU
lo 3924 0 19 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 LRU
can someone explain this behaviour please?

kishor
