Hi, in the past days I've discovered that the msn gateway was doing an
insane amount of traffic, so I started sniffing out what was
happening. I discovered that all is coming from some contacts (quite a
few indeed) continuously sending packets like this:

It seems some sort of invite for a file transfer, which is ignored by
the gateway. This is presumably a virus (since the users don't know
they are sending anything), and it's very difficult to block. Is
anybody else noticing the problem, and any idea of how blocking it?
(it's the 90% of the traffic of our server at the moment!)

Hi,

Have a look at http://groups.google.com/group/py-transports/browse_thread/thread/ce7199f6ad3f81d0/5e20ef1b4cc57b3d?lnk=raot

It seems to be the same problem.

That looks oddly similar to a SIP Invite message. Is that how MSN
does file transfer??
Max-Forwards: 0 and the number of IPv4Internal-Addr's certainly look
suspicious.
