have the ability to discard flows? The Neptune ASIC can discard any flow in its TCAM. That is, one can define a network flow, and then ask the chip to discard all packets that meet such a definition.
This could be useful in certain scenarios - e.g., Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Does any other device have this ability? If so, it might be useful to file an RFE for Crossbow to allow this sort of administration. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Tom McMillan Sun Microsystems, Inc.
