We collect UDP/1680 attempts from machines all over our internal WAN, suggesting that something resembling machine scans for other copies of CC propagate across our WAN. That means the traffic isn't broadcast, or it wouldn't propagate. This is very unnerving. We've not seen any damage, because the machines that are collecting the attempts aren't listening for UDP/1680 - they're logging the attempt. I've looked for documentation about CC port usage, and haven't found anything. What I'd _really_ like to find is some way CC could be configured to not snoop WANs for other copies of itself.
