Default ECHOLINK - attacks by P2P connection ?

Are there any experience with attacks on ECHOLINK Ports 5198 - 5200 by

That makes no sense to me.

Here something of similiar
cases............................................. ......

That's comparing apples and bananas. These attacks exploit a
certain security hole in a certain piece of software (in this
case the dc++ client, whatever that is).

While the Echolink software *may* have some kind of security
problems of its own aswell, it's very unlikely that crackers try
to exploit them. There are (compared to P2P stuff) just not
enough users to make it worthwhile.

In any case, the attacks on this dc++ client, even if they are
operating on the very same port as Echolink, are absolutely no
danger or security risk for the Echolink software.
