Hello again,

Using NetView 7.1.5 FP1 on AIX and noticed that for a brief period last evening, NetView was sending ICMP Address Mask replies to a couple of hosts.  They have stopped now.  Why would NetView send this type of ICMP out to known hosts?  Is it part of the discovery process?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated as always.
