I understand, but I wasn’t clear. I apologize,

Having a default set of Packet Rules in place (or at least defined and ready to be put in place) would give you a quick way to block a massive number of connection attempts from a problem PC. Simply by activating a Deny rule for telnet from the PC’s IP address you could eliminate new connections and reduce the “saturation”.

This frees your system from having to deal with it, and lets you take some time to fix the PC later… or fix whatever is wrong.

It’s a “Be prepared” action that can be done ahead of time when a Packet Rules set is made ready for use.

Tom

IBM stated they rarely have seen this on 5.4.0 but seems to be occurring more at 6.1.
