RE: XP SP2 other than windows update
That URL does resolve to Akamai, but I had heard a rumor they weren't going that route. -M -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Steven Susbauer Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 12:24 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: XP SP2 other than windows update I would be surprised if it wasn't on akamai, which would cut down on much of the external traffic.

Already got mine and it went nice and smooth as far as I can tell. Kudos to MS.
Has anyone noticed a real impact on the internet, traffic wise, related to XP2? I'd suspect that some of the tier1's may see the traffic? Maybe not?

I hadn't heard they were keeping it off akamai. I have heard they're asking ISP's not to mirror it (and any other mirrors), and have shut down bittorrent downloads. That's understandable as they would be blamed if someone downloaded a compromised version (strange how they didn't mind Sp1 mirroring...).

I would have thought that they would have checksummed the file to a known value, so that any kind of corruption during downloading would be detected. -- Roland Perry
