Packet Flood Denial of service
We are being hit with a denial of service attack on a number of our
hosts here at eskimo.com. We have three T1's and it is completely saturating
all three.
The flood consists of a huge number of small 48 byte SYN packets with
random source IP addresses.
I have involved Sprint, their ticket number is #482960.
