Rick, It would interesting to know how you classify "incidents" in the table below....
any one of the following:
o being put on a major DNS black list (spamcop, spamhaus, ahbl etc.) o hosting malware or phishing sites, open proxies o sending LOTS of SPAM, virus o IRC abuse o Botnet C&C o hoping glue/fast flux o abusive, vulnerable web servers
Some of those are clearly ludicrous to count as "incidents" at all, and some of them aren't obviously a single incident, by any reasonable measure so if you're planning to aggregate them all together into a single count the end result is also going to be worthless. Some other way of aggregating the data might be more useful. (I also suspect that a subjective popularity contest list of providers is not likely to be viewed as operational by many on nanog, though I think some of the underlying data might be). Cheers, Steve
