They are refusing to remove the tcp port 1900 filter without dispensation from the DDoS security gods. I understand blocking UDP 1900, what is the purpose of Level3 filtering tcp port 1900?
http://www.senki.org/operators-security-toolkit/filtering-exploitable-ports-... Which calls out UDP port 1900, not TCP port 1900. I would ask any who don't know the difference to stay away from their router's ACLs. Blocking TCP 1900 except as a destination in the initial SYN packet breaks TCP. Do that and you DO get customer complaints. Like Patrick's. Regards. Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Dirtside Systems .........
