All,

 	While sitting here at the Delta Quebec City's hotel wobbly 
network, I'm noticing a lot of traffic similar to this:

05:18:36.525990 IP 10.255.255.145.5353 > 224.0.0.251.5353: 0*- [0q] 4/0/3 
(Cache flush) PTR champagne.local., (Cache flush) PTR champagne.local., 
(Cache flush) AAAA fe80::da9e:3fff:fec2:ccc8, (Cache flush) A 
10.255.255.145 (250)
05:18:36.527240 IP6 fe80::da9e:3fff:fec2:ccc8.5353 > ff02::fb.5353: 0*- 
[0q] 4/0/3 (Cache flush) PTR champagne.local., (Cache flush) PTR 
champagne.local., (Cache flush) AAAA fe80::da9e:3fff:fec2:ccc8, (Cache 
flush) A 10.255.255.145 (250)

Judging from other traffic like this, it seems to be iJunk generated from 
various iThings.  Is a lot of this traffic running up to the roots by any 
chance?

Thanks,


wfms
