> I think this is really the most important point. Link speeds and such > are not as significant, maximum packet rates probably are. Where link rates become key is in modeling the worm's dynamics. Because often a single infected machine could fill an access link, additional infections behind that same link didn't change the worm's overall scanning rate; this is unlike other, non-"bandwidth-limited" worms, and changes Slammer's growth to not be the usual exponential/logistic curve. See our paper on Slammer for more details: http://www.computer.org/security/v1n4/j4wea.htm We're now trying to explore that effect, which requires knowing what those bottleneck bandwidth rates were for sets of hosts behind a common bottleneck.
