Teresa,

I read the email exchanges.  Did Cisco resolve the matter for 
you?  Reading the exchanges below, that is not exactly clear.  
If you were getting 4000+ packets per second very late at 
night, I would tend to agree with another poster (was it 
Rheinhold?) that there is possibly some form of hacking attack 
going on.  This also assumes that you do not have any late 
night scheduled tasks that consume high bandwidth (such as an 
across the wire backup).  Have you put a sniffer on the wire to 
see what is going on?  There is a sinffer that you may want to 
look at that was written in Italy for a graduate project.  The 
menus are in English, but the help files are in Italian:

http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/analyzer/

http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/analyzer/install/default.htm

If you are running a non-Windows platform, here is a list of 
others out there:

Just to be sure, did Cisco resolve the problem?

v/r,

Paul Werner
