Bug #9785
FBI blocking fails if IP has two non-terminated MAC end hosts in NCIS.
0%
Description
It should never happen in practice, but under rare circumstances it is possible for NCIS to have two non-terminated end hosts for one IP address and two MAC addresses.
Case #1) An ARP record is bouncing between two MACs for one IP from a misconfigured system.
Case #2) Two different systems (with their own MAC addresses) are (trying) to use the same IP address.
The current blocking code only assumes that one and only one non-terminated end host can be found and tracebacks if multiple end host records are found.
