Perils of embedded devices

It appears that some types of Netgear home routers are flooding network time servers. There are all sorts of issues here, but it does show exactly how many of this sort of item get sold, and the problems that even legitimate(ish) traffic from a few hundred thousand machines can cause problems.

At least Netgear are working towards a resolution, even if distributing a fix to the customers will be next to impossible.
