All-
I am suddenly seeing about 500 hits per day from a Verizon Router. (see enclosed log entries.) Apparently Verizon may have decided to use multicast for the cable boxes. Naturally unless multicast is really needed I do not want to allow the firewall to respond/pass it. Is there any methodolgy to prevent logging this unnecessary traffic? It is my understanding that UTM 9 does not respond or pass IGMP traffic unless it is explicitly allowed, is that correct? Would there be a down side to allowing multicast if needed?
Thanks,
Jim
