Im curious if anyone knows of the "milk" attack.  Our network was just
slammed by such
an attack for about an hour all aimed at one of our core routers.  A "sh
ip cache x.x.x.x x.x.x.x fl"
on it showed this:

SrcIf    SrcIPaddress  DstIf  DstIPaddress    Pr SrcP DstP Pkts B/Pk
Active
Fa0/0    208.10.5.2      Local    X.X.X.X           11 0498 0017
164K1028  985.3

except from 10 to 15 hosts all nailing us at the same time.  The
protocol as you see is "11" which
I have been unable to find information about.  There was no way to
filter it and access-lists denying
protocol "11" showed 0 matches.  Anyone have any ideas?
