UDP Flooding on Cisco 1810 router

rajmathur678
Level 1
Level 1

We are noticing lot of UDP packets on our Cisco 1810 router. This has choked our internet circuit at 100% utilization.

We  were able to find the Source IP address from where these packet are  coming and have denied access to the Source IP through an access list.

We  are seeing that the access-list is blocking that IP , but the has not  stopped the sender from sending the packet to our router and the router  interface is still experiencing high UDP packet from this IP address.

Any advice or help will be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Naturally you are able to block the traffic but it will still consume your WAN links bandwith.

I would suggest perhaps contacting your ISP for help with this

RIPE gives the following information related to the public source IP address you are seeing

inetnum:        85.17.183.0 - 85.17.183.255
netname:        LEASEWEB

There is also a contact email above. Maybe you could try that out also.
