RE: ICMP Source Quench

An "ICMP Source Quench" message is sent by a host that is receiving
datagrams (UDP) at too fast of a rate to process.

Or TCP, or any other IP-based protocol.  The SQ doesn't discriminate.  This is why we need to know what type of 
connection existed, and what application was in use before making a determination.  But yes, it is an indication of a 
generally hurting IP stack.
