After I upgraded my IOS this morning I've seen 13,844 input errors on the port; when looking at the switch the router is connected to I see that a very similar number of multi-cast packets (13,423). Has anyone else seen this? Is this perhaps what the patch does (register exploit packets as input errors)?
