Jason is writing us saying that his firewall is dropping 600-700 packets per second with protocol 61 (not port 61). He hasn't been able to capture full packets but is working on it.

This looks very much like a corrupt packet, maybe as a result of a DoS upstream, or a broken attack tools. If anybody sees something similar, please let us know (and we really like full packets)

The source IP addresses are 2.2.128.1 and 5.5.128.1 (again, odd addresses... )

Here are some anonymized firewall logs from Jason:

	2013-04-12 00:00:00 firewall %ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol 61 src outside:2.2.128.1 dst outside:xxx.xxx.xx6.1
	2013-04-12 00:00:00 firewall %ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol 61 src outside:5.5.128.1 dst outside:xxx.xxx.xx6.1
	2013-04-12 00:00:00 firewall %ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol 61 src outside:2.2.128.1 dst outside:xxx.xxx.xx8.1
	2013-04-12 00:00:00 firewall %ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol 61 src outside:5.5.128.1 dst outside:xxx.xxx.xx8.1
