In tracking down a network snafu we had a network snooper on our ethernet.
About every 10 minutes we would see an IP packet with protocol 106 (6A hex).
Looking at the MAC addresses we see that these are coming from our QNX6
systems.
What is this packet?

#define IPPROTO_QNET 106 /* qnet protocol */

Why does it use an IP packet when the source IP address and destination
IP address aren’t filled in?

The QNET (in default bind=ether) tracks MAC address itself. The facked IP
header
is to allow firewalls to filter these packets.
