   this is why folks have been asking for JAM support for those areas...   
      
   but as for it being bad, my system ran out of drive space... not once but   
   several times... spewages like this are reminiscent of "amplification attacks"   
   seen on today's internet... especially on hub systems with large numbers of   
   connections... eg: 1 PKT that's 2Meg in size becomes 200Meg on a system with   
   100 links that all get the area(s) contained inside the PKT... when you only   
   have 200Meg to play with, that one PKT eats it all and then nothing else   
   works...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one.
