Here's a quote from this story http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19980220S0001 Both Bellovin and his AT&T colleague Matt Blaze cited the vulnerability of the Net's decentralized routing system, .... This routing information has been accidentally corrupted several times, they said, resulting in massive traffic flows being rerouted through single slow machines or blocked altogether. They said a hacker could also cause this kind of corruption. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
