my guess is that when isp's start paying customers for suck in order to balance their own ratios or to upset other people's ratios, that it will stabilize at about 10% of current blow-based transit pricing. and that there will all of a sudden be a lot more ddos'ing, fly-by-night crawlers, and whatnot than there are today. gads, what a world.
Ahh, but are you saying that current blow-based transit pricing is stable?
(anybody have any guesses how much of the current ddos load is driven by ratio concerns? that is, now that we know spammers are hiring folks to ddos antispammers, can we finally admit that isp's are hiring folks to fix their ratios for them by ddosing from larger-provider networks? viva laissez faire, i guess.)
Maybe I am exceptionally naive, but are DDOSes *REALLY* that consistent between providers to affect month-over-month or quarterly ratios? DJ
