But shutting them down, that's like the police arresting all the informants. It doesn't stop the crime, it just eradicates all your easy leads.
What're folk's thoughts on that?
Well that's one perspective. I love the bit about tagging the packets and using QoS (whatever that means) though, that would be a hoot. Keep in mind bots are not just for DoS. They spam, they capture keystrokes and mouseclicks, they can be proxies and so on. If in the name of botnets QoS gets widely deployed I'll put print out this email, puree it in a blender and humbly chug it down at a future NANOG. John
