Ron,
Are you seeing icmp to other IP's that are
unreachable along with the icmp to 0.0.0.0 ?
I have seen this in the past and looked like it was
coming from a linksys router. I suspected the router was randomly replying to
other's IP's, basically causing loops. To isolate I had to disable
different AP's to discover which AP it was originating from, then acl each
client until I could isolate to a client, long process in between network hangs.
The last time this happened to me 90% of my network was bridged. Now I am 90%
routed and have not seen the problem

It is probably
peer to peer traffic. That can take a network down very quickly. You will
have to hunt down which user is hammering your network. Probably BitTorrent
traffic if I were guessing.

To all,
I am having a network storm, the first. All activity light switches on the
wireless net are flashing like crazy, both at the data center and customer
sites, may not mean much, but it has not happened before. There is a huge amount of traffic
on the canopy sys. Others
have discussed an ICMP storm w/ a (0.0.0.0) address that comes from
Linksys & Netgear routers.
There are about 20 on my net, of 90 users.
I am a know-nothing at this, and really
a hardware/RF guy. Not
familiar with Ethereal or other SW that monitors the net. What are you all using? Where do I get it? What are your thoughts and
advice?
Any help or advice you could offer would be
greatly appreciated. I'll do whatever you all advise.
