Attack!?!

Actually  the question mark is fraudulent.  My gateway/firewall machine
has been under what appears to be a DDOS attack.  A persistent,
continuous attack from several system directed at UDP port 16252.  It
appears to be related to a CISCO RTR/SAA attack.

What I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced a
similar attack?  The only thing   I can think may have triggered this
was a report to a net administrator that his system might have been
compromised. A few hours later this seeming  attack started.

No good deed goes unpunished. Before I retired I did some security work
for an employer.  You would think I would've learned about sending email
alerts  to admins of compromised systems.   Retire and a few years later
you finds yourself violating the best practices.  I will call the guy
tomorrow.

Feeling stupid.
