What is scanning?
See also Port and address scanning.
Address range scanning
The most common abuse is from a worm (or virus, bot etc) trying to infect other computers by exploiting a single vulnerability on the same port at a great number of addresses.
Port scanning
You may be reporting packets or connections to a large number of UDP or TCP ports at just one address (or a very small number of addresses).
