If need be, if someone were to actually provide a shell or something that did have enough bandwidth, I could setup the IRC server there and it would be fine. On Tue, Jun 22, 2004 at 09:41:51AM -0400, Daniel Reed wrote:

You may find that an IRC server used for the purposes of discussing DoS attacks, to the point of being used for real time mitigation of same, will ultimately be targeted as part of those attacks.
A dedicated DS3 probably does not provide enough bandwidth to run a modern DoS-resistent IRC server. As a point of reference, during an attack, some EFnet IRC servers may take in multiple hundreds of Mb/s before upstream action is initiated.
