    I'm writing once more because of some strange behaviours i have reported
    while analizing incoming connections to my host.
    As for introduction, i would like to explain; host is connectied directly to
    ISP via ppp connection, there is no localsubnet,
    server stands for its own, on a single modem connection (115500Kbp/sec).
    Today logs from sniffer look pretty famous, all of 'em have something in
    common - these are destination ports.
    The 3 day logging, gave me an pretty huge file that was fully filled with
    packets that _shouldnt arrive_ on my host, as i mentioned before. They come
    from all over the world, starting at US, ending at JP. I won't put too much
    here, i just put those most important(?) i think. I will base on packets
    sent to alberta - of course, the database file after 3 days grew incredibly,
    that is why i show here a few examples:
    
    1)
    [14:38:13|6/7]55.52.0.2.1 > gsb04-0-1.gw.ualberta.ca.2 F (ttl 4,len 49320,id
    5632,tos 1,ack:0)win 29702,chks: 26469
    
    55.52.0.2 is known to be:
    OrgName: DoD Network Information Center
    OrgID: DNIC
    Address: 7990 Science Applications Ct
    Address: M/S CV 50
    City: Vienna
    StateProv: VA
    PostalCode: 22183-7000
    Country: US
    
    Alberta is the Canadian university.
    The source of the packet is known for me, but i rather not show it public.
    
    2)
    [15:22:54|6/7]204.95.0.1.1 > gsb04-0-1.gw.ualberta.ca.4 F (ttl 5,len
    49320,id 1024,tos 1,ack:1)win 624,chks: 27648
    
    204.95.0.1 appears to be:
    OrgName: Sprint
    OrgID: SPRN
    Address: 12502 Sunrise Valley Dr.
    City: Reston
    StateProv: VA
    PostalCode: 20196
    Country: US
    
    Another non lucky packet sent to alberta?
    
    And so on, with other ones..
    
    All i want to ask - is how is it possible, that those packets are catched by
    me , is there a possibility that somewhere the router is misconfigured and
    they arrive at a lonely host??
    
    With respect.
