SUMMARY
If Internet Protocol (IP) packets arrive at a node too quickly for it
to handle, the following error message may appear in the Event Log:
Received Source Quench is the number of ICMP Source Quench
messages received.
The flow control mechanism in IP is the Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) Source Quench message. In effect, when IP packets
arrive too quickly for a node to handle, it can send a Source Quench
message, which essentially tells the source of the packets to back
off. The Event Viewer is stating that this has occurred. This message
should not be considered a problem.
