I have a dual-homed machine doing routing and firewalling on which hundreds of the following messages appear in my logs every 10 minutes or so: /kernel: icmp-response bandwidth limit 44069/200 pps /kernel: arp: runt packet last message repeated 14691 times At the same time these messages are occurring, I find the following while doing a tcpdump on the internal interface (it doesn't happen on the external interface at all): 19:05:34.247543 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247588 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247630 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247674 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247718 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247762 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) 19:05:34.247805 arp-#12469 for proto #208 (166) hardware #1 (183) ...except there are thousands of these. Has anybody seen this before? I'm running a slightly old version of 4.2 (Thu Dec 14 15:28:03 EST 2000), but I didn't see any relevant diffs to sys/netinet/if_ether.c which is where the "runt packet" errors are sent to syslog. Could this be a problem of bad hardware on the part of one of the internal hosts? Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks!
