Those are just dns lookups.
Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

I run a pi hole and it blocks more 1000 attempts per minute from a single Samsung TV, then it outright denies requests from the tv. Duck those douches.

It’s not just DNS. I have this rule in my firewall:
udp dport 15600 counter drop comment “Block Samsung TV shenanigans”So far, it has blocked 20575 packets (constituting 1304695 bytes) in 6 days and 20 hours.

DNS sinks can often cause elevated traffic numbers because the client is constantly failing and retrying.
I bet if you enabled it to test the numbers would drop dramatically.
