In the case of some networks and some type of malware, you might need to do more than this. For example, if a compromised host continues to spew out packets without a valid IP, this still eats link capacity. If the network is relatively flat, which is often is in wireless configurations, you still have a problem to solve before normal access for everyone else is restored. John
