[... can I keep TFTP Requests from going Places, and how likely is it
that someone piggybacks in that Way?]
The Consent is that the Law-and-Order Way to block the Requests would be
to tighten the Routers, however as I said, this is not an Option. Other
than this, the Solution (?) is that both Sides would have to delve far
