What is a DOS attack in your view? A DOS attack is against
linknets, not sending bazillions of small packets, you break
Cisco with that, not real routers. *cough* *grin*
For the linknets all the switches that play routers are
easily DOS'd if you send the right packets to the wrong IP,
but that is nothing new.
