Re: router worms and International Infrastructure

Subnetwork specific worms?  I only want to take down as1,
as2 and as3, for example, rather than a large-scale
'internet killer' outage.




Almost a year ago we had a crisis in Israel where something caused ONLY
Israeli ISP clients to stop being able to use their DSL connections, and
on the SAME DAY.



We believe it was a targeted worm.



Who said this can't happen? It already did. The biggest impact was the
help desks being DDoS'd.
