This is a summary of what I've seen in response to my original message.
Switches, hubs, and routers....switches hubs and routers, oh my!

None of which answered my question.

Does anyone have any experience in getting icmp.redirects to affect *nix
boxen?

All I'm looking for are possible attacks on a given host to stop network
traffic.  Hubs, Switches, and routers are not a viable resolution to this
problem.  As many of you know getting upper management to spend money on
new hardware/software is a fight that takes time, and especially if they
don't have a clue as to what an insecure network can do to the company.
After thinking about spoofing an attack so that my piece of code would
attack an innocent host, I came up with a frontend to an attack.  There
are three admins under me, If I give them a tool to allow them to only
'stop' attacking machines on the network, that this would be a viable
solution.  Anyone have links for these types of games to be played on
machines in the network?  icmp redirects, arp spoofing, tcp/ip stack
crashes, etc.
