Re: Layer 4 switch vs. firewall

[<hesselsp () ashaman dhs org>]

I find this interesting.  I have not read anywhere about someone getting
around VLAN'd switches.  I read on bugtrac that it might be possible to
inject garbage packets into a different vlan, but I was not aware of
anyone doing anything useful with it.

Can you please elaborate?  Thank you,
Paul
