Too many hits for inbound connection on port 16437 (TCP&UDP)

[d3ck4]

Firestarter detecting hits for inbound connection on port 16437 (TCP&UDP) in every single second. Is this related to any issue according to the latest internet worm or something :confused:? My connection is getting slower than usual :(. Is there anyone here got the same problem?

A quick Google for "port 16437" came up with this (http://www.brgprecision.com/openpl.html). Looks like it's used by NTP (network time protocol). I also get a lot of hits on this port. It's nothing to worry about for most users. It may be a new worm attacking a hole in ntpd. Just live behind a router.
