I've nerely crashed 25% of a class B subnet, and if I had waited to long every thing would have gone down.
Cisco Catalyst Switches did not like the scan.
Some options in Retina are much to agressive to be used
on a production network.
Fine tuning Retina's Configuration is really necessary for live audits on production networks.
