The Internet
|
||
Protocol (IP) has a control message called Source Quench that asks a host
|
||
to transmit more slowly on a particular connection to avoid congestion. It
|
||
also has a Redirect control message intended to instruct a host to send
|
||
certain packets to a different local router. A “<span class="quote">super source
|
||
quench</span>” is actually a redirect control packet, forged to look like
|
||
it came from a local router, that instructs a host to send all packets to
|
||
its own local loopback address. This will effectively tie many Internet
|
||
hosts up in knots. Compare <a href="../G/Godzillagram.html"><i class="glossterm">Godzillagram</i></a>,
