Napster and others...

Is there an updated list of ports used by Napster and various games (Doom, Unreal, etc)? At this point we're just collecting data points and not actively filtering anything, but of course the IANA port number list is sadly out of date with regard to these tools. Thanks in advance, Jeff Kell <jeff-kell(a)utc.edu> Systems/Network Administrator University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

| When you have limited bandwidth you need to ensure that it is used for | what it is purchased for (email access to network based resources etc) Napster traffic is principally bulk TCP transfers. Bulk TCP transfers are good for your network -- much better than lots of short TCP transfers (web "mice") because they are highly sensitive to network congestion. Moreover, where chronic congestion is a problem (i.e., your access line is full and dropping packets for long periods of time), bulk transfers back off much more quickly with a very gentle RED control law than do web mice or short SMTP sessions etc. So, having one's supplier apply RED on your access line, and you applying RED towards the supplier, is a cheap, simple, and bandwidth-effective way of making sure that Napster traffic can consume the entire line, but not in any way worsen the performance of short TCP sessions and the like, which are not as congestion-sensitive. I deliberately do not address intellectual property issues, nor issues of "I don't want my access line to be 100% used, even if the napster traffic behaves in a UNIX nice +20 fashion, because I pay for number of bytes moved per month".

hi folks, i hate to ask for a repost, but i simply cannot find previously posted information in my nanog folder or via the archive search (yes, im impatient, im sure its in there!) someone posted an awesome summary of resources for dealing with a DOS attack, and now i need them. ill leave it up to The Officials to determine whether what we experienced was "technically" a DOS, since we recovered w/o much loss of service. but i need to know who to contact. thanks! deeann m.m. mikula network administrator telerama internet abuse@telerama.com/spam@telerama.com

30k routes from AS6079
by Michael C. Toren 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

FYI - It looks like AS6079 has been leaking ~30k internal routes at MAE-East and Pennsauken since about noon today, EST. After finally getting in touch with an engineer at Erols, I was told that they were aware of the problem, which was a result of a network upgrade gone bad. They expect it to be resolved no later than midnight. -mct
