On  19 Dec, this message from Josh Huber echoed through cyberspace:

I can kill the network easily with ping -f <ip of local host>

Ping _from_ local _to_ local? I believe that doesn't even go to the
ethernet interface, but is returned right in the IP stack. At least, for
me, I don't get _any_ sort of network activity when ping -f'ing on local
IP address....
