I connected my computer to the back of the Hitron Modem, just watched the traffic capture. I had no Web Browser active, yet I have HTTP traffic. So, why would that be happening.

Also, This shows a Cadant Device, and I was connected to the Hitron Modem and this is not the Hitron Modem Mac Address. So, what is happening here and why?

If your interested in telling me when I copied this from Libre Office, I had to enter everything on the right side, skip a line so it would not be all swished together.

Thank you,

Vtechie

You're assuming that traffic on TCP Port 80 is HTTP, but your wall of text doesn't show that.

While port 80 is the "standard" port for HTTP traffic, it can also be used for other purposes and by applications other than a web browser, including system services checking if the wider internet is available.

There's nothing to be concerned about here, although the data content of the TCP stream might show more.
