I am monitoring a home network and I see periodic Ethernet II frames sent from 00:00:00:00:00:00 to random MACs xx:xx:xx:xx:00:00. For example:

The last 4 of dst is always 00:00. The type is always Unknown (0x0000). The data is always 46 bytes of zeroes. I have no idea what could be sending this. It is a typical home network. Amazon Fire Stick, LG TV, Playstation, some Android phones, some Android tablets, some Windows laptops and a Windows desktop (what I'm using Wireshark on and it's connected to the Linksys router via ethernet cable).

Interesting. I guess I'll have to go through the process of elimination. Thanks.
