Ethereal loop protocol

Hi guys, I have run ethereal in a switched network, using PVST. I have noticed that it captured frequently on different Vlans the following:

Protocol: Loop Info: Reply

and it showed the same MAC address. Are they the Hello messages from the root bridge?

Regards, Andy.

Ethernet keepalives I think. No keepalive on the vlan should make them go away.
