As a data point: An unused, never before used or even just announced /21 currently draws an average of 112pps und 70kbit/s, translating to about 1GB (1 Gigabyte!) of traffic per day, or about 30GB per month. In some countries, that translates to real money (I'm hearing INTERESTING price tags on bandwidth in South Africa). Looking at psmith's weekly routing table report, this would extrapolate (totally non-scientific and ignoring several effects) to at least about 675GB daily "stray" traffic in the whole Internet, WITHOUT any host answering to the viruses, trojans, whatever. I hope to find the time to do some capturing and analysis of this traffic. If anyone here has experience with that I'd be happy to hear from them... don't want to waste time doing something others already did... :-) Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: [email protected] -- [email protected] -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
