On Saturday night my company fell victim to a DoS attack that completely
sacked all three of our pipes (a T3 and two T1s). The resultant ethernet
traffic made even our 100bTx local network unusable because of the
attacker was flooding multiple portmasters on unreachable IP addresses.
Every packet they sent bounced around our network until its TTL was
reached. When is this disastrous behavior going to be fixed??
