We see a lot of the UDP dest 0. Depending on what you're
hosting/protecting you can ACL a lot of the unneeded ports and
protocols (easy) then focus on using appliances (commercially
available or home grown if you're so inclined) to identify and scrub
out the ambiguous traffic (a lot more difficult).
