Re: Ether Broadcast

[Blair Strang <Blair.Strang () chelmer co nz>]

Are you running MS load balancing stuff anywheres?

1. http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/ethertype/type-pub.html
   (Look for 886f)

2. http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/win2000/nlbovw.asp
   "Network Load Balancing's heartbeat messages are assigned an ether
    type-value of hexadecimal 886F."


Regards,

    Blair.
