we recently saw a spate of "loopback protocol" traffic, i.e., ethercode 9000.  pretty steady
pattern of 12% level on a 7by24 basis.  is this the DEC "loop node" stuff run amok?  or something
to do with a loopback address on a unixoid box?  i would dig further to find this out for 
myself but the alligator level is quite high this week...  email reply would be quite adequate.
thanks in advance.  -bruce-
