Hi,

I see entries like this in "iptraf":

│ ICMPv6 router adv (72 bytes) from fe80::fa8e:85ff:fe64:78f2 to ff02::1 on eth0                                │

Who is "ff02::1"? This machine or the router?

That's a multicast to all IPv6 capable devices.  The "ff02:" indicates it has a link local scope, that it it will not be passed by routers.  The ":1" indicates all hosts.
