We got hit by this. Real Bummer. 4,000 connections pounding ports 123
and 19 on one IP address. 30 meg sustained and 70 - 80 meg peaks. Took
down the entire 100 meg fiber due to the massive packets per second.
It is still ongoing but our upstream had to block it at the edge and is
still eating the bandwidth. You can not block it yourself so get help
right away.
Why us? I think a gamer on our network pissed off some hacker in a chat
room who had access to a botnet.
You can rent a botnet for $200 a day if you can prove you are not the FBI.

We had a network outage yesterday afternoon, and thanks to Mike
Francis at JMF Solutions the problem went away. So, anyone who needs
network help...I would strongly recommend Mike Francis at JMF Solutions.
Kudos to Mike Francis.
