Hello everyone, recently I set up a PfSense laboratory with GrayLog for testing purposes. I have observed an unusual behavior in my network where certain IoT devices, including a Smart TV, computer, and TP-Link router, continuously send packets to broadcast addresses:
224.0.0.251
255.255.255.255
239.255.255.250
224.0.0.7
192.168.9.255 (broadcast address of my network)
The TP-Link, Smart TV, and computer are the ones that constantly communicate with 192.168.9.255. The other IPs mentioned above are destinations of requests made by IoT devices. I suspect that other IoT devices may be experiencing issues due to this intensive communication, potentially because of memory constraints.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Do you have any suggestions on what can be done?
I use an RT-AC86U router with Merlin firmware connected to the ONT as my main router.
I apologize if this is not the appropriate place and/or if there is already a forum discussing this topic.
