But is it to your MAC address or not?
The ethernet layer is of course bc'ing to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The DHCP packet is showing a client MAC address that's the AsustekC, and it's not my MAC.
The router is probably not the DHCP server, it's just the forwarder for a backend management system.
Ya, looks like it.
My guess is that our AsustekC friend is making a request with a strange option 81 that's being blindly copied in the response and since DHCP is a broadcast at this point, you're seeing it.
Hmm, I'm not sure I follow... been up too long! Not sure why Shaw's routers would relay bc's across subnets sourced from random nitwit's broken client/router? This is type "Boot Reply (2)" which should be coming from the DHCP server back to the client?
