I have just been doing some debugging with ngrep inside a VM and suddenly received traffic destined for a number of other VMs. This is Proxmox 5, should I be worried? I've certainly never seen this before but I haven't been using Proxmox for more than a few months.
 
it's normal to see some ethernet frames for others VMs when the vmbr0 bridge is learning
otherwise you have to be more specific
 
Manu, thanks for the reply, I'm actually thinking the problem is now a datacenter one as further investigation showed that the packets I was receiving were not even for the same host.
