To be fair anything that is sending like this is probably getting you network blocks:

"This program spews out packets very fast. On Windows, or from VMs, it can do 300,000 packets/second. On Linux (no virtualization) it'll do 1.6 million packets-per-second. That's fast enough to melt most networks."

Yes, thank you, I think that was the one. Only missed by an order of magnitude or so.
