v. [common] 1. To overwhelm a network channel with mechanically-generated
|
|
|
|
|
traffic; especially used of IP, TCP/IP, UDP, or ICMP denial-of-service
|
|
|
|
|
attacks. 2. To dump large amounts of text onto an IRC channel. This is
|
|
|
|
|
especially rude when the text is uninteresting and the other users are
|
|
|
|
|
trying to carry on a serious conversation. Also used in a similar sense on
|
|
|
|
|
Usenet. 3. [Usenet] To post an unusually large number or volume of files on
|
|
|
|
|
a related topic.
