Thanks for your reply. Compared to Linux tcpdump, FreeBSD is issuing
extra packets, those you mentioned. I have a Netopia modem
with RJ45 to a router or optical modem in the condo basement. From
there is an optical link to my ISP about 10km away who provides nothing
but email forwarding, a DHCP lease, and an internet connect.
I have included dumps from Linux and FreeBSD but I have not yet
finished all the tests you suggested. IPv6 is not enabled according to
the /etc/defaults. I tinkered with various options without making a
difference.
Thank you,
-Bob-
