I don't get it. A Smurf attack is just packets, right? I've seen our 3640
handle a whole lot more than a saturated T-1 worth of packets. In fact,
the one time we were smurfed, the line that got toasted was running into a
2501, and its processor was able to handle the load, the line just sat
maxed out for a while... (We even got legitimate packets through now and
then, but they were an unfortunately small part of the total flow...)
What is it about a smurf attack that makes it CPU-intensive?
