Guys, on recent days I've seen an UDP attack a couple of times. The attack is fairly simple, a full load of UDP packets filled with "X". The attacks comes from various sites from the other side of the pond (46.165.197.xx, 213.152.180.yy). Has anyone seen this kind of attack? Basically, the attack aims to fill your pipe (150Mbps over an STM1... guess what...) Then the question goes like this: besides asking your upstream provider to block, drop or whatever on the offending traffic, and Kontaktieren Sie den Administrator, what else can be done? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Please contact me off list. I'll post a recap on due time. -- Miguel Mata Gerente de Operaciones Comunicaciones IBW El Salvador tel.: ++(503) 2278-5068 fax: ++(503) 2207-1310 mmata () ibw com "La confianza es la mejor conexion"
