Try it for yourself :) This is documented behaviour for cisco routers. Packets addressed to the box itself are always process switched. The limit in a 7500 series router then becomes the RSP, not the CyBus bandwidth or amount of memory on the VIP2 cards. Taking cpu cycles away from the RSP will make the box fall over. Just don't let packets near your network if this is unacceptable behaviour for you. ObPlug: HAL2001 <URL:http://www.hal2001.org/> will host a dDoS discussion panel. As a possible title "dDoS: You ain't seen nothin' yet" was coined... Regards, -- Niels. -- "IP assumes non-hostile, non-lazy, and non-clueless nodes." -- Mark Mentovai
