Hello everone...I was going through my security logs this morning and
noticed
something I hadn't seen before:

Sep 26 08:05:33 c101**** icmplog: source quench from 216.68.76.2

What is the source quench all about? Is that some kind of malicous activity?
I
did an nslookup on the ip and it was not found...I've never seen this and
would like to know what it means. Thanks...

               Justin
