Testing the IPv6 Readiness Update

I started with a freshly installed Windows 7 Pro SP 1 32-bit virtual machine, and it was, of course, vulnerable to the router flood:

I installed the Microsoft IPv6 Readiness Update:

Now both flood_router6 and flod_router26 have the same effect:

While the flood is in progress, the machine freezes completely, Task Manager does not move, and the mouse is unresponsive.

But as soon as the attack stops, the CPU drops within a few seconds, and the machine is fine

I tried 60 seconds of flood_router26 and it did no lasting harm.
