hello,

I'm seeing ICMP redirects on two of our machines. One redirect definitely
comes from our CISCO router, I'm not sure about the other redirector (but
I don't really care, it's not a threat, but interesting...)

The CISCO announces the redirection quite often: about 200 times in 5 minutes.
But I just cannot image which route the CISCO wants to have changed, and
for the other machine: it isn't even in our country (so why do they send
me redirects ?)

Therefore I'd like to ask to have a detailled printout of these ICMP
redirects - in case of the CISCO, this could be because of some network
misconfiguration, and for the other router, it's interesting enough
what that machine is trying to tell me :-)
