what would cause >1TB of "ip6 broadcast" in last 20 days?
I have a vps, with debian 9 lamp+postfix/dovecot install, mostly idle as I moved what i was running on it to a dedi.
I was doing a final check to make sure i've moved everything and noticed it had used way more bandwidth (>1TB) than expecting (probably < 30GB). Using bmon, I noticed that it showed over 1TB of ip6 broadcast tx and over 200GB rx.
an additional 50GB of it was showing when i checked this morning.
using tcpdump im not seeing anything but portscanners and ssh/http connection attempts.
googling it I just get pages of ipv6 not support broadcasts and I'm stumped.
what can I do to find out what's happening?
TIA
