This is definitely worst-case, it's simulating a DDoS attack at the
network. What is really surprising is that just 1mbps of traffic is able
to kill a 6.x box doing routing. If it were, say, 600mbps that I'd
understand as you're pushing over a million PPS. But 1mbps? :-\

Send a flood of 60 byte syn packets with the tcp sack option thru

why. If you block the packets on the box via ipfw it's fine, the second
it has to make a routing decision everything goes out the window, it
seems. There's 100% packet loss on all protocols. I'm not using NAT,
there are real IPs in different C classes on the other side of the box.
Is that something that would occur normally? Or is this a
worst-case/stress-test trying to break things? How are you generating
the packets?
I'm not a network guru, and haven't done much in the way of
network-related stress-testing, but I'm always looking for ways to do so.
