Title: Message
What is the Difference between the Ethernet II source and the Internet Protocol Source.
 
I am seeing lots of TCP Port 135 packates on out network.
 
However the Ethernet II Src IP address is different from the Ethernet Protocol Source address.
 
The Ethernet II Src address is belonging to our network while the Ethernet Protocol src Address is from an external network.
 
The Destination address of both is the same and is located on our network.
 
Can anyone explain why there are two source addresses.
 
Regards,
