Look for the mac: a813.430a.5950 I think. That’s the source MAC, assuming I flipped the right bit. I know the last 8 are right at least.
You could just turn off multicast on his radio or the AP, but his router is looking for a DHCP server and sending to that multicast address in question. If you turn off multicast IPv6 will fail to function as it relies on multicast to function.. no more broadcasts! :) > On Feb 17, 2016, at 10:46 AM, Ty Featherling <tyfeatherl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > A few times now I have noticed all customers in a given broadcast domain all > seeing download traffic at about 1.5Mbps.
