Wow, I was glad to see that all these wonderful folks are reading the router requirements (RFC-1812, June 1995). Good, good. What I'd like to understand is how smurf attacks can work, even with directed broadcast on? Isn't there a requirement (RFC-1122) from ages past (October 1989) that ICMP not respond to broadcast or multicast [page 38 et seq]? What pressure is being put on host vendors? Which host vendors are the problem? WSimpson@UMich.edu Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
