The only thing I can think of is that the issue is not the amount of traffic
being sent, but also either the port switching speed or the volume of
threads your security officer is setting up her software to spawn.
If she had her port scanner set to let's say, 200 threads and each one went
thru all 65K ports I think it still would not bum the network down.

Subject: [THIN] Port Scanning
Has anyone seen where port scanning caused major network issues? Our
security officer runs port scans on our network when ever she wants to and
it never fails that our network then chugs down to a complete halt and we
have to reboot our core switch to correct the problem. Any ideas or
suggestions?
