I install Ethereal to monitor my network, i am gettin following observations:
ID “Src” “Dest” “PktLnth” “Date” “Protocol”
5 “10.0.0.222” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:47.466015” “ARP”
9 “10.0.0.182” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:52.209852” “ARP”
11 “10.0.0.222” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:52.484506” “ARP”
16 “10.0.0.182” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:56.422057” “ARP”
19 “10.0.0.222” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:57.502987” “ARP”
24 “10.0.0.105” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:39:59.505466” “ARP”
26 “10.0.0.254” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:40:00.290181” “ARP”
27 “10.0.0.182” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:40:01.422172” “ARP”
29 “10.0.0.222” “Broadcast” 60 “2008-06-04 13:40:02.521488” “ARP”
My questions are:
1- Up to what packet size we can ignore broadcastin ARP over LAN ?
2- Whats the best move, to stop / reduce broadcasting ?
