That's what bothers me most - I have a suspicion that Alexis didn't even have to go out of his own domain to look for perpetrators. Then again, I may be wrong.

i think that Alexis said that the 2nd attack involved something like 7 panix machines--just how much bandwidth is needed to support a 2Kpps attack on 7 machines?

Nope, the packets were definitely coming in from the outside (and not out his MCI t1 and in his Sprint t1), but *nothing* like 2kpps. We later got a good fraction of that with a deliberate test attack, though. 2kpps is only 80kbytes/sec, though... Still not straining a t1. Avi
