I just picked up a voice mail from a UUnet salesperson that says "... I saw that y'all are at AboveNet and I'm fairly sure that you are aware of what happened yesterday with the denial of service attacks and I was wondering if y'all might be looking to go with somebody else that way you aren't shut down and you don't lose business ..."
I must have missed the UUnet press release that stated that UUnet will not be affected by any DDOS attacks. Or maybe it is in a document covered by an NDA :-)
And being an indirect customer of UUnet that has been hit by some DDoS attacks originating from (or transiting from) UUNet, I would say that their ability of responding to or tracing those attacks is something between little and zero. Rubens Kuhl Jr.
