I can't seem to trace it because the request comes, grabs an IP with this device name, then leaves and is off the ARP table. I don't think it's all at once, I think it happens slowly over a period of a few hours or a day. MAC always begins with 70:4c:ed which Wireshark identifies as TMRG, Inc.

That’s pretty cool. I’m ready to deliver 10Gbps SFP+ to the side of customer’s houses. But since it tranceives to copper, I was going to be limited. This would help, esp if a cheap transceiver is made between SFP+ and the new copper standard. From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of
