I attribute this to over-zealous marketing. As I mentioned at the NANOG BoF, there is, indeed, a decrease in latency about 6 hours prior to the actual mass attack. Mike Lloyd (RouteScience) saw this, too. There's also a decrease about 16 hours out. Sean suggested that they might be attributed to cable cuts, but I don't have the data to attempt correlation. If Semantec's ouija board brought them news "hours" earlier, they are behaving reprehensibly not to have alerted the community. Peter
