MAC address?! nbd clients connect over IP, and if a router reboots between them, you could easily see two packets from the same client come from different MAC addresses. Similarly all clients not on the same L2 network will carry the same MAC address. So MAC address is a very poor indicator of 'same client'. IP address is also a poor indicator (think NAT) but is substantially less bad. -- Alex Bligh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
