Hi Jaromir,

Thanks for your interest into the pmacct project. Please find below
answers to your questions:

1) Did you compile the package with --enable-ipv6 ? 

2) Is it possible it's all traffic from the outside to IP addresses
   assigned to you but not used as a result of a scan? Or you see
   unused IP addresses generating traffic?

3) 0.0.0.0 is traffic to/from some networks which are not listed as
   part of your networks.lst file. This is also briefly explained in
   the CONFIG-KEYS, networks_file part: "[ ... ] a) it allows to
   rewrite as zero IP addresses not included in any defined network
   range (ie. to avoid IP addresses external to the local domain to
   be accounted for)"

Cheers,
Paolo
