This guy has got way too much time on his hands. We as NSP/ISP's must protect our self from spammers. We don't like it and our customers don't like it. I only have one question: Wht are his legal grounds? If any! Just my 2 Cents!

Has anyone else noticed congestion (lost packets) going through cw.net in Seattle? The router I see is bordercore2-hssi5-0-1.Seattle.cw.net (166.48.208.5). Thanks, Joe

Robbie, >From the way this guy is spouting off, I doubt he has an attorney ... unless it's one that specializes in bovine birth certificates. How he has survived this long is a wonder. Any good attorney would have provided a use policy that would have addressed spam.

Re: Exodus / Clue problems
by Steve Noble 18 Nov '98

Naw.. letting the Conspiracy Theory run rampant is more fun. I would be hard pressed to think that anyone really thought that Exodus was not doing anything. Just because they arn't posting to NANOG does not mean that work was/is not being done on the issue. Once Exodus spent the time assembling and presenting the information to the customer, their job was done. It is now up to the customer to speak (or not speak) about the issue. But anyways .. Anyone have any information about the other 33842 sites that are being used to do this? Maybe we can turn this into a operational speak like "How ISP's deal with complaints about their Customers attacking other sites" And find out exactly how successful or not successful people were with getting these other sites secured and the problem stopped.

In particular, the spec allows an implementation to invoke local policy when computing the local preference of a route. An implementation can reasonably incorporate the AS path length in its local preference calculations as part of its policy. Tony
