I've dumped my ppp0 interface to control if all IP packets generated by my LAN are routed correctly and to find out why diald won't kill down the connection to my ISP also if i've no activity over the PPP link and found some interesting things... let show you. First of all i've found LCP echoreq thats sounds good to me but latter i found this:" 23:28:36.026519 nas0.mo.nettuno.it > IGRP-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET: ip-proto-88 40 [tos 0xc0] " which for me is quite interesting. I got my idea why this packet are reaching my ppp0 interface, this sounds like gated and/or routed packet thats my ISP's routers are sending to me... ?! I've no idea if my interpretation is good or not but if so i wish to know why my ISP's router(s) is sending to me its routing table or even more information. If anyone out there can help me to understand this i'll please him. P.S. of course nas0.mo.nettuno.it is one of the addresses of my ISP's router/gateway and is listed on my personal routing table as destination for ppp0 and as default route even more for ppp0.
