      Hi,

      I've noticed this row on the pftop utilities, but cannot figure what's the meaning:

      pfTop: Up State 1-1/1 (1022), View: default, Order: bytes
      PR        DIR SRC                           DEST                                   STATE                AGE       EXP     PKTS    BYTES
      icmp      Out 192.168.1.10:27925         192.168.1.1:27925                   0:0            01:35:04  00:00:09    45516  1319964
      

      SRC is the pfsense box
      DST is the provider router

      Why there's this traffic? Is it safe ?

      Thanks, BR
