So, I've made a program (p-smash.c, which is attached) and I'm sending it for you.
Please, remember that I've only tested it on my LAN.
so, i had a look at the code, and it seems to send packets as fast as humanly possible. are you sure that you're not simply ICMP flooding the system, that you really are expending resources in packet *analysis*, not simply bandwidth hogging? one quick test is to ping another host on the LAN at the same time to make sure that bandwidth is available to other machines on the network (not in a switched environment). if you add some usleep()'s in there, do you get the same effect? ____________________________ jose nazario jose () cwru edu PGP: 89 B0 81 DA 5B FD 7E 00 99 C3 B2 CD 48 A0 07 80 PGP key ID 0xFD37F4E5 (pgp.mit.edu)
