We switched from a cisco router to using a gentoo box with mutiple nics |
| 2 |
- all appears to be working very well. However, i ran into a major |
| 3 |
problem when one of my PC's went nuts. It flooded the network with |
| 4 |
"unknown protocol" which I saw from tcpdump. |

Basically, I am trying to find a way to protect the internal network |
| 7 |
from bad network devices. This did happen when under the cisco setup |
| 8 |
but it did not bring the network down. I'm assuming we need a little |
| 9 |
bandwidth control (TC) implementation but is there any tricks in the |
| 10 |
kernel/network setup which will help as well. |

Any pointers will greatly help! |
