I've just noticed via ntop that one of my routers is clocking through over a megabyte of ARP packets per hour. That seems an awful lot for a dozen or so computers and some servers. Anyone have any idea how much ARP traffic goes through their home network? I doubt it's a big problem (it equates to 300 bytes/sec).
