Unfortuntatly "did have" is the operant word :-). It showed up on SFU's
backbone (which was at tha point a weird place for historitcal reasons) about
5 or 6 years ago when I was using one of my test boxes on a tap from the
backbone since it wasn't prod I didn't keep the traces. The production boxes
were on a more sensible connection and never had the problem so the SFU
archives won't have a copy either. I don't have access to SFU's network any
more and even if I did, I don't know that we didn't finally clean up the
config that was causing the issue.
It may be possible to recreate the problem here using multiple
overlayed networks on a FreeBSD box and turning on forwarding to route between
the overlay networks and doing a capture here. I'll have a poke at it.
