Like I said they have been transmitting TCP and now have started using
UDP which prompted my interest in making knowledge of this wider - I did
not post the TCP version as I'm unwilling to spread the headers.
Burying your head in the sand - or in this case a router does nothing to
make the network safer. Such an act indicates stupidity beyond belief.
Advising people to ignore these things is IMHO simply criminal.
I can only feel sorry for anyone following the links on your sig.
Your responses are either deliberate misdirection or simple ignorance.
As I also said - this group has clearly lost all competence.
I shan't trouble you again.
