Ping of Death. Anyone else seen FW warnings on this?

My firewall has been hit with the POD over 100 times (on port 6346).
The issue would be almost laughable except the question of if this is being 
used to locate some other vulnerability in IPX, UDP,  or any other transport 
mechanism?

Has anyone else been hit, and does anyone know of any reason why anyone would 
use this "archaic" DOS?
