@verizon.net | Router LOG question
I have a Gigafast router. Randomly I check the log file to see what's going on. I always see "Unknow Incoming Packet on TCP" also on UDP. I have my dmz on a non-existent ip. So, what is that unknown incoming packet? |

@4.46.x.x | Is the packet being dropped? If so then dont worry about it..It can be almost anything like for example messenger spam etc.. |

@verizon.net | Hey! Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if it's being dropped or not. The log never reports if it's being dropped. I get them constantly, filling up my log everyday. Is this a common entry with any router log? |

@verizon.net | Okay, maybe I shouldn't worry about  . I'm guessing it's spam |

ALso if you want you can input the suspecting ip here »www.mynetwatchman.com/ and see if it shows any scanning originating from that ip. |

We need at least destination ports to be able to get some idea as to what the traffic is. For example every user on the internet is likely to see around a 100 scans/attacks an hour. While these are easily defeated with a firewall (everyone on the planet should be running a firewall anymore), but it should give you an idea as to the amount of junk going on out there.
