I've got a strange thing happening with one of my USR HiperArcs. Someone, somewhere, is trying to DDOS a dialup customer's IP address.
This is annoying enough, but that IP isn't even in use right now. So the packets just keep bouncing back and forth around my office. Traceroutes just keep going back'n'forth between the USR and its gateway, each of which thinks the other is the right place for this packet to be.
Is there a way to convince the HiperArc that it's the "final" destination for all the addresses in its IP pools, and to drop packets destined for IPs in that pool that aren't connected right now?
(If this is too vague, let me know and I'll gladly provide any extra details needed.)
If you are using RIP or OSPF this shouldn't happen. I think if you are using static routes then your router's table has a listing for those IP's with your ARC's address. Your ARC see's the IP as disc so sends the packet back. So, I guess you could use rip to get around it. Of course, I could be full of it and have a misunderstanding of how the whole thing works. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-695-6962 ext 301 800-299-6962
