I'd agree with it. Except the herds of losers who still buy exploding crap from Vendor M don't seem to be thinning themselves out quickly
dude, the Exploding Cars are so much easier to drive than the ones from Vendor L. (tic)
enough. Maybe they're sexually attractive to each other, and reproduce before their stupidity kills them. That would be unfortunate. Or maybe it's just that none of this computer stuff actually matters, so exploding crap isn't actually fatal. Maybe that's it.
I think it sucks that they are exploding on MY highway. With that in mind is it time yet to talk about solutions to problems like this from the network point of view? Sure its easy to put up access list's when needed but I have 100megs available to me on egress and I was trying to push 450megs. Is there anything protocol, vendor specific or otherwise that will not allow rogue machines to at will take up 100% of available resources? I know extreme networks has the concept of Max Port utilization on thier switches, will this help? Suggestions? -Scotty
