I've heard this crap for 20+ years now. "attack traffic" is unplanned traffic. Build networks to support "random" bursts of garbage is much more expensive then you will ever get to bill for. You clearly have no understanding of the economics of networks. On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 10:39 PM, Keith Medcalf <kmedcalf@dessus.com> wrote:

Wouldn't surprise me if the providers were selling access to their customers networks to the botherders so they could make money from both ends.
