Anybody here on list using Extreme products (Summit/ Alpine/ Blackdiamond)? They sure don't like this traffic one bit. It causes them to not only drop traffic, but spew out every available error message under the sun...
We use extremes in our core and it did not log much other than CPU issues:

All of the ExtremeNetworks devices I've laid my hands on are in strict L2 mode and their management interfaces are either on private networks or behind firewalls. If you are relying on their ACL's to protect your telnet and snmp access, but are otherwise allowing their management interfaces to hear traffic from the whole Internet, then you should turn in your badge and go back to bagging groceries or whatever it is you used to do. (Same goes for any management interface on any L1-L2-L3-L4 product made by any vendor, so I'm not intending to pick on Extreme individually here.) -- Paul Vixie
