Polling For 100 mbps Connections? (Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song)

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

actually, I tested the ping-flooder from the my-security.net
link and surprisingly it works under W2K.  At least, enough
to be able to get the FreeBSD system it was targeted at to
start instituting ICMP limiting.  I have no idea if it could
in fact actually saturate a 100BaseT connection, or in fact if
any Win2K system could.  The presumption was that if Sasa
was indeed interesting in running it, we could move on to
a bit more sophistication, such as packet-counting access lists
on the FreeBSD router that he's publishing stats from.  Once
we get some numbers from that, we could begin doing some
rudimentary math to see what we have.

Unfortunately, though, looks like Sasa has lost interest in
the project when it started to require some effort to do. :-(
