When my cousin learned about Ping at school in the 2000s he setup ping gateway -t on all the computers in his highschool class.
Took down the school network for the day. He didn’t get in trouble I think. Just a laugh from the school admin (they knew each other and he volunteered there). Admin blocked ping after that.
Man they really need to check for loops in the network, that sounds like a feedback loop. Although my experience only goes back to like 2012 so it might have been a older hardware thing
