Anyone seen what Loveletter can do to a network?  Had a meltdown today - a
couple of infected PCs were trying to scan network drives on Netware
servers...  at some points the MSM saw 14Gbps in/out of traffic, in (even
with a maxed port channel config which we had its rated at 8Gbps in
full-duplex!).

Amazingly enough, the network was still alive (barely) despite all that was
going on - IPX and IP (NCP) storms from the PCs...  took a while to figure
out cause some PCs got updated Netware client sofware in the morning.  It
took a whole of Sniffer work with span to figure out which were the
culprits - got the lingering feeling there's more out there though.  Average
traffic that passes the MSMs are about 1.5-2Gbps on normal days.

Wondering what others have experienced - we had no auto-generation of tons
of emails to deal with, yet it was enough to cause tons of traffic.  In each
case - we would see a lot of Requests made on the Netware monitor by the
infected PC/user, with no open files or data transfer actually taking place.

Regards,
Adrian
