engineering --> ddos and flooding

Thu May 31 22:11:12 UTC 2001

I'm going to reply to my own post here.  I am thoroughly impressed.  I sent 
the message out and in 10 minutes I had two replies.  Keep the ideas 
coming, I will form up a general suggestion message and post it later.  One 
thing to think about, I want a way to do it without having to call a NOC 
like Genuity and asking them to put in a filter, I want a way to do 
something about it at a lower level.  Like multiple connections....Remember 
NOC calls take time because of hold times...  Someone just told me (on 
here) that the IETF is working on something, anyone know how many more 
years it will take for that protocol?

Thanks again,
Andrew
