Argus 2.0.1 beta.1 question

[Carter Bullard]

Hey John,
   These are packets that are generated to test
the physical interface.  The host transmits a packet
to itself.  If it receives the packet, then it
knows that all the electronics are working, even
the cable.  This is a very common test.

   I believe that these are generated by the interface
itself, so, snoop() or iptrace() wouldn't ever receive
them, or if they do, I'm not sure that they know how
to decode them.
