same article as the one bellovin linked yesterday. but this version has author attribution. thanks.
a couple choice quotes: "Spokesmen at AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., two of the largest, world-spanning carriers of Internet traffic, said they were unable to find anyone at their companies who could discuss the issue of routing reform." guess they didn't find rexford's successor @7018 or schiller @701? oh, well actually these folks don't do telephone networking so I guess it makes perfect sense :( "Pieter Poll, the chief technology officer at Qwest Communications International Inc., says that he would support some simple mechanisms to validate data routes, but he argues that fundamental reform isn't necessary. Hijackings are typically corrected quickly enough that they don't pose a major threat, he argues." qwest customers may want to take note here..."quickly enough" is how much of your business lost exactly? -chris :(
