Lol, this wasn't my choice really! The JACK server's default UDP listen port is 3000 with the netone backend, so that is default port that ETH-68 sends to. This can be adjusted on both ends

The choice of port wasn't the complaint so much as the choice of IP address. 12.12.12.10 is a real IP address on the Internet, so if you plug this device in somewhere with an Internet connection, it will begin spamming nuisance traffic to some random device out there. It would be better to choose an IP address in one of the private spaces for this purpose.

See, for example, Cloudflare's stories of issues caused by misconfigured systems appropriating the "1.1.1.1" address for their own purposes: https://blog.cloudflare.com/fixing-reachability-to-1-1-1-1-g...

Oh thanks for that feedback, easy change.

each user of ULAs has a unique address range, whereas IPv4 private addressing is common to many users
