One thing to watch for, is devices (printers, mostly) which by default have Appletalk, Netware, Vines, NetBIOS, etc. turned on, some of these are very chatty protocols which will generate a lot of broadcasts even if no computer is using them.
A Netware enabled printer will issue SAP packets forever, hoping to find a print server to attach to. »docsrv.sco.com/SDK_netware/SAP_P···ure.html
I would turn off all protocols no one is using, and see if the broadcasts diminish. |
