There's no indication on how the stats are collected... Is it by IP addr reported? Does it take into account duplicates (re-infection rates?)

While they don't say, the "number of infected hosts" graph makes me assume that they're counting unique IP addresses that tried to hit them. As I said, my numbers are consistent with others posted here. And I've gotten private mail about another, similar observation -- Code Red, Round 2, appears to have peaked a few hours ago. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb
