Ah, okay. Can you check whether it maybe came from the querier
code in the Linux bridge on host B? Is
"cat /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_querier" 1? Can you
isolate host B and disable any multicast router daemon on it? Then
check again, if you still see these queries. What kernel version
is running on host B?
