 Hello
 
 Is the following a tcp or a udp packet?  How do I tell?

 This seems to be a broadcast by the DHCP server of my cable provider,
 right?

$ grep 17  /etc/protocols
#   from: @(#)protocols 5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89
udp 17  UDP # user datagram protocol

$ grep '\6[78]/'  /etc/services
bootps  67/tcp  # BOOTP server
bootps  67/udp
bootpc  68/tcp  # BOOTP client
bootpc  68/udp

It's udp broadcast of DHCP _client_.

proto=17 - look at /etc/protocols - yes, udp

:68 - look at /etc/services - bootp - similar to dhcp.

The key here is the PROTO= part:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/2:~]$ grep udp /etc/protocols
udp 17  UDP # user datagram protocol

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/2:~]$ grep tcp /etc/protocols
tcp 6   TCP # transmission control protocol

 This seems to be a broadcast by the DHCP server of my cable provider,

67 == BOOTP server, 68 == BOOTP client.

It appears to be a machine (10.209.80.109) broadcasting a
request for an IP address (DHCP).

Thanks, informative.

Yes, because the packet is destined for the /server/ port, right.

I will just ignore such packets (silently because I hate them 
appearing all over the logs).
