hello, A few days ago I lost my Internet connection and it came back on again within a few hours. however, I noticed my modem recieve light constantly flickering. so, I used wireshark to see what was up, and noticed there is a constant flood of ARP packet requests being sent to my Machine. my question is this: is this normal? and is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

btw I checked on VirginMedia's website to see if there was maintenance downtime in my area at that time and it said my area is ok.
