@thatcks Probably because the packet headers were protanomalous.
My co-workers are currently physically bisecting a network to discover what's making most unicast ARP replies disappear mysteriously.

@oclsc In this case, a 'loop' in the network (in that a 5-port end switch was plugged into two wall drops at once). -
@thatcks No spanning-tree algorithm? (In the big switches, not the small one) - View other replies

@oclsc No STP. It's unnecessary for a pure tree (which we're supposed to be) and I think we've had problems with it in the past. -

@JustinAzoff@oclsc People breaking our networks with loops is a very occasional thing, fortunately. Perhaps once a year at most. -
@thatcks@JustinAzoff Yep. Cost-benefit tradeoff. Us too: I forget whether we enable STP but similar issues obtain.
