If someone DoS's SAP, then SAP becomes useless anyway - our users on the
end of DSL lines were complaining that their DSL lines were full of SAP
traffic (as well as their router CPU melting).

Is it sensible to rate-limit SAP to 1Mbps? Anyone doing this with "ip
multicast rate-limit" on Cisco, and got advice?
