Hi,
I did a 'ping -frl 99999999 -s 6500 <ip of a windowz 2000 box>' from my
Mandrake 8.2 machine, and managed to send the network usage to 100 %,
needless to say the machine began to crawl. I disabled ICMP ping on the
windowz box and it stopped replying to all ping requests on that IP, but
strangely the flooded ping still works, only diff is that the windows box
does not send back any packets.
Any reason why this is happening? What does the ping -f option really do? I
thought that it sends fragmented ICMP packets to the target machine..
BTW: Windowz has some option that allows you to filter fragmented packets,
but somehow that doesn't work!!!
