???? Do you think I'm the OP? I've been saying there is *NO* data being sent towards the ISP when devices are on the same local network. From what I've written you should have gotten the impression that there is only 1 "hop". The connection is transparent to the router. The data never gets "into" the router. The data is handled in the switch, which happens to be in the same enclosure as the router but no router functions are applied. It is just as if my devices were connected to a "Switch/Hub" only. -- Cardinal Rule of Presentations: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them." _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
