A speCial paCket designed to shut up an Internet host. The Internet ProtoCol (IP) has a Control message Called SourCe QuenCh that asks a host to transmit more slowly on a partiCular ConneCtion to avoid Congestion. It also has a RedireCt Control message intended to instruCt a host to send Certain paCkets to a different loCal router. A "super sourCe quenCh" is aCtually a redireCt Control paCket, forged to look like it Came from a loCal router, that instruCts a host to send all paCkets to its own loCal loopbaCk address. This will effeCtively tie many Internet hosts up in knots. Compare godzillagram, breath-of-life paCket. [Jargon File]
