Worldcom cut near Atlanta
by mark＠vielle.datasys.net 03 Oct '98

03 Oct '98

It appears that Worldcom has had a fiber cut near Atlanta that is affecting cities in Florida. Among others, Digex' POP in Jacksonville has lost connectivity to some of their subscribers. I never have understood that arrangement -- we have a line from South Georgia that goes through Atlanta (~250 miles north) to get to Jacksonville (~250 miles southeast). The backhoe-per-capita rating for Atlanta is significantly higher than for most cities, it appears.

Re: Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should be removed?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1998 11:26:29 -0700 From: digitalunix(a)altavista.net To: hostmaster(a)internic.net Subject: Rogue Domain std.com To Whom it May Concern, Over the past 48 hours I have received numerous complaints about large numbers of negative cluons eminating from the domain std.com. As a Network Solutions, Inc. customer I must request that you BORK BORK BORK FREE THE INTERNET BORK BORK BORK remove this domain from the .com TLD as soon as possible in order to avoid the possibility of Negative Cluon Proliferation, which will undoubtedly happen when the number of negative cluons on the internet exceeds the number of positive cluons by a factor of 2 or more. This situation opresses the positive cluons to the point where they no longer appear on as long as an NCP situation exists. Thank you for your expeditious actions in dealing with this problem. Sincerely, A Concerned NSI Customer ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com

. (root) zone rouge, should be removed
by Chris Cappuccio 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

I strongly recommend removing the root zone, for what are soon to be obvious reasons. I was recently made aware that people are using it for distribution of materials that may be inappropriate. I have also found that it has been used for illegal purposes. Please direct all future correspondence on this matter to chris(a)[12.7.96.3] --- "Microsoft is to quality software what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking"

Milk attack
by Steve Nash 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

Im curious if anyone knows of the "milk" attack. Our network was just slammed by such an attack for about an hour all aimed at one of our core routers. A "sh ip cache x.x.x.x x.x.x.x fl" on it showed this: SrcIf SrcIPaddress DstIf DstIPaddress Pr SrcP DstP Pkts B/Pk Active Fa0/0 208.10.5.2 Local X.X.X.X 11 0498 0017 164K1028 985.3 except from 10 to 15 hosts all nailing us at the same time. The protocol as you see is "11" which I have been unable to find information about. There was no way to filter it and access-lists denying protocol "11" showed 0 matches. Anyone have any ideas? -- \\|// -(@ @)- ==oOO==(_)==OOo========================================================= Steven Nash snash(a)lightning.net l i g h t n i n g i n t e r n e t s e r v i c e s l l c Chief Backbone Engineer -- Network Engineering http://www.lightning.net

The Man would like to know [was: Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should beremoved?}
by scott w 02 Oct '98

"His view was that the US host so many smut sites and many other things yet they continue. So why is it that the Kingdom of Tonga that is trying to make some money from domain name registrations is the subject of so much debate. He said it does not make any sense. He said he will have someone look into the matter though."
