Just for fun, I sniffed the traffic coming into my cable modem. Basically I see a ton of ARP requests. Why I am seeing so many seemed a tad weird since the whole point of arp is to prevent excessive traffic since the mac to ip binding will be cached. I am seeing about 12 Pps and they are all going to the 48.bit address of ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff(broadcast). All of the http traffic I am seeing is very minimal so it appears the code red worm has died down.
The bottom line is Kindness is that I think you are seeing the normal everyday traffic because cable is a shared medium so you will see traffic from just about every damn person on your subnet. Here is a text version of 3 captured packets out of the 1200 or so I captured.
