kudos:12 | 100 SYN? Nothing but bittorrent generates 100 SYN packets that quickly. So, essentially, they are just stating that if you generate 100 SYN packets WITH ANY PROTOCOL, not just Bittorrent, Comcast is sending fake TCP RSTs. So if you try and establish 100 session to a website (or 1 session to 100 different websites) they'll start throwing TCP RST flags on your sessions.
This won't be noticed by the majority of users out there, as nothing really but bittorrent attempts to open 100 sessions at once. |

I would imagine that business users where there's more than a handful of computers could do this with "normal" traffic. Or perhaps a large family with a bunch of kids + computers. |

Business users is a good point. I also didn't think about a decent sized family of 4 or more computers. Hell 3 simultaneous users connecting to MySpace with it's gazillion separate sessions would eat up 100 in no time I bet. |
