Trouble accessing www.nanog.org
Is anyone else having trouble accessing www.nanog.org. I can ping the site but don't get any response from HTTP requests. -------------------------- Ron Bonica vcard: www.bonica.org/ron/ronbonica.vcf
Works for me as well :> I will check to see if there was some interruption in service and report as warranted. Betty On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 11:09 AM, Andrew D Kirch <trelane@trelane.net> wrote:

The brief problem in accessing www.nanog.org was due to numerous parallel downloads of a large video file by a single source IP address. We have no reason to believe it was malicious in intent, but the offender has been blocked anyway. Anyone from AS37986 around? Duane W.

There was a single source IP with 200+ open, active http connections to a single large media file. The single IP address was blocked. The file itself is still available on the site. Mike

oh! so the 200 or so users on tulip.net that were downloading nanog content were blocked, bummer :( /troll-mode=on Err, while we're talking about video files and nanog, why is the video content still served off (stored content I mean) nanog.org servers? Why not use one of the many video serving services? some of which are free even :) (that part's not a troll, a real question, even!) -chris

I'm sure we could arrange some process to ingest videos to some form of video-hosting-website... a videotubes site let's say. who should I chat with?

There is video hosting web sites on the intertubes? Now where would those be found, I wonder. All I have ever seen is macro-streaming that is fraudulently labeled and advertised as video -- the worst being something called FlashVirus, which was written by a company called MacroVirus Media or something like that, and currently owned and flogged by Adobe along with their "Proprietary Document Format" (the latest versions of which boast UVTD technology -- Unstoppable Virus Transport and Distribution). If the so-called video contains arbitrary executable code (or can run arbitrary executable code), or requires the use of a specific application to "play" (or infect the target), then it should not be described as "video". It is a streaming-macro. Microsoft was the first OS vendor to add the "Execute Payload" header to IP which saved much time and effort in the distribution of malicious code via the internet. Unfortunatly, Adobe and several other vendors have patents on what is called the method of "Executable Data" and made Microsoft remove their wonderous invention under pain of patent lawsuits. Of course, maybe whats meant is File hosting, where the File being hosted just happens to contain video data in standard data format (preferably a pure-data format that does not embed execution macros of any type). ;) --- () ascii ribbon campaign against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org

FWIW many of the big video hosting sites have this option now, and many send an appropriate format for the browser being used: http://www.youtube.com/html5 http://www.dailymotion.com/html5 http://vimeo.com/blog:268 http://blip.tv/html5/ http://www.archive.org/details/Html5DemoVideo Alex
