Re: Charter ARP Leak

This is normal for a cable modem network. These are broadcast packets so
they get delivered to everybody on that node.

ARP uses layer-2 broadcast to ask for the owner of a given IP to respond
with its MAC so that subsequent communication with that IP can be addressed
directly.

Hello,

I recently swapped out a home router for a SRX at home. Any charter techs
able to take a look at the following? It looks like I am seeing some arp
broadcast leaks towards my home router.

Here is a small excerpt I am seeing.
