See section 2, above.  Neither is what Sean was getting at, I believe.
What he seemed to be saying is that a few infected folks can cause temp
networks at conventions to suffer major problems.  Doesn't matter if it's
at a news org conference or a NANOG conference.  To be sure, though, you
don't have to take the whole network down to find them.




Of course you don't, but if you notice they shut down a segment of the
network only. Probably some arse running a DHCP server that conflicted with
the real one. Chances are the bigwigs shut it off while some lackey had to
find the geeks at whatever booth they were snagging swag at :)
