Hello,
Walking past a switch today I noticed all the lights blinking at a very high rate. We where not doing any Ghost multicasts, so there should not be that many broadcasts in our network.
Wireshark quickly showed VMWARE Mac addresses sending a huge amount of LLC messages.
Our network is very simple, one subnet, no VLAN's etc
Google and search of VMTN only returned a lot of post from people working at LLC's
1) Is it normal to see that many LLC messages
2) what is their function
3) can I do anything to reduce it
Tx!
