Why is router reporting DoS attack on a different ip ?
I have a C7000v2 modem router. DNS is cloudflare (1.1.1.1). I see these dos attack logs in the router but they are not making any sense. Its from the dns to 98.42.123.84 which is an ip that is not part of the network. What is 98.42.123.84 ?
| DoS attack: TCP- or UDP-based Port Scan] from 1.1.1.1, port 53 | 1 | Mon Aug 05 13:37:57 2024 | 98.42.123.84:55487 | 1.1.1.1:53 |
I see multiple logs like these exactly same except the port# changes. There are several in an hour.
What does this mean ? Is anyone able to explain what might be going on here ?

..
every 15-20 mins in the router log. What the heck is going on ? Has anyone experienced anything like this ? Who or what is 98.42.123.84 ?

Well looks like 98.42.123.84 is owned by Comcast and it is located nearby. But I would still like to understand what is this traffic and why is it needed and causing the router to panic ?
