My son did that at the office, and went to lunch.
Also we had a gigabit link from office to datacentre at ethernet level, it was all gigabit at the time.
Shall we say, err, "fun".
Yeh...

@revk@toot.me.uk @Dragon@toast.dragon2611.net @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Back when I was at university, I fired up dhcpd on the computer society's firewall to serve their internal network and then went to my morning lectures. Turns out the dhcpd man page was a bit wrong and when I configured it to not hand out leases on the external NIC, it sent refusals instead. Turns out it sent refusals faster than the uni's real DHCP server could respond and took out the entire uni network. Back in those days it was a more-or-less flat /16 across the site.
