Re: port 27015

Hi there, port 27015 is often associated with Half Life online gaming servers. Are you 
running one of these? There are some security considerations to mull over if you are as 
these can be used in DDoS attacks and the such. Just google for "port 27015 tcp" and you 
will get quite a few hits on it.

Cheers,

Don

Starting at 10:49 UTC December 22 I started seeing a 20-30 incoming packets 
per second on TCP port 27015.  Every few minutes another source 
appeared.  Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
