Another observation: do backbone servers apply any throttling of clients to keep them under control? If not, what's a reasonable throttle limit that won't break servers like ANSRVR, WHO-IS, CQSRVR, etc.?
    
I'm wondering if the attacker is bouncing around because he's getting tossed off servers and has to reconnect.Andrew, KA2DDO

This looks like a deliberate attack, not an innocent accidentalmisconfiguration.It appears to be scanning thru a large number of T2 servers, around theworld. The location is bouncing all over the place, perhaps to thwartduplicate removal and fill up the database.At  http://ontario.aprs2.net:14501/   we find:187.210.189.241	UNDEFINED	true	gpserver  corget.cn	No filterset	0d1h0m4.17s	121	2,402	7,676	184,425	21	5120d0h0m4.249s2400 packets per hour to the Ontario server alone.  This might be an attempt at a denial of service attack._______________________________________________aprssig mailing listaprssig at lists.tapr.orghttp://lists.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig_lists.tapr.org
