This is encouraging news: I ran a scan for smurf-amps of /24s in 200/8 through 210/8 in late July that yielded 30,083 networks that returned duplicate echo-replies. Today, I rescanned those networks, and found that of the original 30k, only 21,255 returned duplicates -- that's a 29% drop. Whether it means that more networks overall are properly configured, or that different networks are misconfigured, I know not. Optimistically, I'd like to guess that the former is true, but a complete scan would be necessary to know. mrl
