Hi,

>From the firewall's log (Cisco Pix 515), I got 22,000 messages from the same source IP address to the same IP destination 
saying that: "invalid transport number, in which [...] destination port number for a protocol is zero." 


Is it possible that someone sending a large amount of traffic to the firewall make this firewall unusable due to a cpu rate to 
high ? 

Is it possible to pass through the firewall which is not able to filter any traffic due to its cpu high rate ? 

Thank you.

Regards

Christophe
