RE: Anyone heard of TCP Drop Records?

["Jason Lewis" <jlewis () packetnexus com>]

I figure it's a test.  ;)

There is an SNMP command TCP Drop, but I don't think that is it.  The man in
the middle stuff is probably more likely, it was in the context of IDS, so
maybe they are referring to monitoring those kinds of attacks.

Maybe I should make something up, and test THEM!!  haha

News to me too.  You can use a tcp connection to drop records in an sql
database. %^)

Or, you can use the tcp protocol and man in the middle techniques to send
RST
packets to one or both ends of a TCP connection.  He probably got "Drop"
from
conversations which discuss "dropping" a connection.  The word "Records"
seems like a word from the database community.  I use words like "packets",
"frames", "sessions", or "connections" when discussing things Internet.

You could come back at them using correct terminology with something like:

  I assume you mean ...
