My new Samsung TV is taking 40 IP Addresses on my Network !! .......WTF!

Posted by Cut-Throat on April 30, 2017 at 08:29:09:
So, I got a new 7000 Series Samsung TV (43 Inch) this month. I have it connected to my Home Network wirelessly and have used a few Apps, like YouTube and Netflix. I also connected the TV to my Laptop to view some pictures.

So I was running the App "Advanced IP Scanner" to set-up some unrelated devices on my Network and I happened to notice about 40 IP addresses that all Said "Samsung Electronics" and were either Dead or Unknown. I turned on the Samsung TV and did another Scan and all 40 IP addresses came 'Alive'.

Does anybody know WTF is going on? ...... I am sure that this is not beneficial to my Home Network.
