Half a million new bots a day isn't that high of a number, I suppose. How long before ecommerce becomes impracticle? :) Far from relevant to NANOG. Or is it? DNS beind abused like there is no tomorrow on the operational level (not infrastructure level) and no one (almost) even noticing is obviously not operational. The Internet is not going to die tomorrow, but I care more about it as an inter network than any one network connected to it, which is the job of most people here. We are all techs, but the decision if for example, block ports at ISP's to stop worms isn't going to be a tech decision, much like hypocritically, ISP's these days block streaming media or P2P for extra cash. It's a business decision that will eventually save or kill the Internet, and to be honest, I see nothing wrong with it. I just am happy there are some people who hold back the tide of the war we already lost, before governments catch up. Gadi. > > > -- Niels. >
