We were subject to a denial of service attack this evening which affected
one of our communications servers, and I was forced to disconnect the Internet
connection temporarily because I could not talk to the router while this was in
progress otherwise.
There is apparently a flaw in the IP packet reassembly code of the Annex-3
communications servers that someone out on the net exploited this evening.
