--- Comment #12 from Joe Barbish <qjail1 at a1poweruser.com> ---
On the subject of the flooding packets. After many different tcpdumps and
device re-cabling have figured out where these packets are coming from. They
are originating from android phones and tablets. Unable to determine if this
action is normal by design or if those devices have been infected by malware.
Those android devices connect by WiFi router that had been bridged to a switch
that also has the LAN cable on it. At the switch the unwanted WiFi traffic
short cuts to the LAN cable never showing up on the gateway host.

Changed the WiFi router cabling layout and enabled the routers firewall adding
rules to drop the unwanted traffic so it doesn't exit the WiFi router any more.

What a learning experience!
