DOS?

Sandvine forges a packet to cause a dropped connection? Sounds dangerously close to a Denial of Service attack to me.

Re: DOS?

I was wondering about the legality of forging a packet while still having a IP header with the originating users IP address as the sender of said packet. Further, this said packet informs the recipient that the sender wishes to terminate the conversation.

This clearly is a fraud.

Re: DOS?

Yes, and somehow I suspect that if a Comcast customer started forging packets to sabotage someone else's internet connection, it would be against Comcast's rules. Kinda hypocritical.
