PROBLEM
	Tamer Sahin (http://www.tamersahin.net) posted :
	A fragmented Udp attack through  the  microsoft  isa  server  makes  the
	system hampered  by  using  the  cpu  at  100%.  Meanwhile  server  uses
	processor power too much and therefore packet process ratio decreases.

SOLUTION
	 Update
	 ======
	Microsoft answers :
	ISA can be configured to drop fragmented packets and, if this  is  done,
	it significantly helps protect the system against flooding attacks  like
	this. However, even so, it's not a cure-all. Even inspecting and  dropping
	packets takes some  finite  amount  of  work,  and  once  again  if  the
	attacker has sufficient bandwidth, he may be able to flood  the  server.
	Again, though, there isn't a flaw in ISA server - - - --  it's  strictly
	a flooding attack.
