Hello I have ippl installed and have started it as 'nohup ippl -n' 8 days ago. It has worked well, but now there are two things I wonder about. - yesterday there were 47 echo requests from 30 different origins within half an hour. This hasn't happened the 8 days before. The only way I can explain that is either that someone sent requests with spoofed sender ip adresses, or that ippl isn't working correctly. It's strange that all 30 ip's except one have a valid dns entry. - Just after this, ippl stopped working: there weren't any more messages even when I ping'd my machine myself. With 'ps' I saw it still running (4 threads). Another instance 'ippl -n' started in a terminal worked. 'killall ippl' stopped all of them and led the old ippl instance to write the 'stopped' message to the log: (...)

So it really seems that ippl hung just after (or while?) these strange echo requests. Were these 'ping of death' or something that ippl couldn't handle?
