We just need to put out a request to ISPs
I would suggest this is done directly rather than through 'bodies' such = as IEPG
Peter, how do you suggest sending a request "directly" to all ISPs in the world? Is there is a mailing list for them?
I'm on about 8 ISP mailing lists. About half of North America's ISP's are there and many from other countries. I have posted most of the action items regarding SYN floods to those lists and I'm sure this stuff is picked up and passed on to other lists like the Philippine ISP mailing list. There are also the various magazines that many ISP's follow and these are all doing stories on the SYN floods. Since people like me who pass this info around directly to ISP's cannot yet afford to attend NANOG meetings it might be a good idea to make sure that "action items" for ISP's get posted to this list. It's not perfect but then, that's the real world for ya. :-) Michael Dillon - ISP & Internet Consulting Memra Software Inc. - Fax: +1-604-546-3049 http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
