and so are getting a disproportionate amount of fileshare upload traffic (if
a download takes X minutes more is upload by a source on a 1mb upload pipe
compared to a 384k upload pipe so the upload totals are greater for the
cable isp).

H... me wonders how you know this for fact? Last time I took the
time to snoop a running torrent, I didn't get the the impression it was
pulling packets from the same country as I, let alone my network
neighbors.
That would be totally dependent on what tracker you use.

The problem comes in do you pick someone who is 2 hops away but only has 12K
upload or do you pick someone 20 hops away but who has 1M upload? I mean
obviously from the point of view of a file sharer, it's speed not location that
is important.

I was wondering if a few folks on this list could look at a problem I'm
seeing.
I've poked around most of yesterday and this morning and initially I thought
it was a dns problem but it appears to me that www.airfrance.com is blocking
a whole lot of the IP space in the US from accessing their
AF has country-specific front pages. Airfrance.com, the generic
corporate site, is OK from here; Airfrance.us is reachable from London
(if you lie:-)) but extremely slow loading. Airfrance.fr is OK.
Airfrance.co.uk is slow but OK.
So far everyone who responded has managed to get the site to
a point in the technology
relatively soon where a movie can be shipped across the net for about the
same
cost as postage today.
You mean like fileshare networks have been doing for years now? The delivery
model is already functional.
Geo.
, you can spread the load out over 24 hours, the effects on available
bandwidth can be reduced. The TIVO model appears to have an advantage for
the viewer (a large archive to select from) and for the phoneco's and ISP's
at the customer end.
Geo.
:-). however, you did seem to miss the hue and cry about how ALL YOUR
BASE
ARE BELONG TO GOOGLE now. a smattering of this can be found at:
Has anyone considered that perhaps google is not looking at beating
Microsoft but instead at beating TIVO, ABC, CBS, Warner Cable, etc? You
can't
download. How many movies are claimed
downloaded on the fileshare networks every week?
Geo.
I know this is kind of a crazy idea but how about making cleaning up all
these infected machines the priority as a solution instead of defending your
dns from your infected clients. They not only affect you, they affect the
rest of us so why should we give you a solution to your problem when you
of getting worse all by themselves if not addressed.
Anyway, to play nice.. how about using a router to dampen traffic much like
icmp dampening? Would it be possible to do DNS dampening?
Geo.
If anyone has a contact for the dns folks over at af.mil could you please
inform them that their authorative DNS servers have no A records so their
zone is failing to resolve for many people who have enabled anti-dnscache
poisoning features.
George Roettger

Why?
If we can coral them in it and legislate to have no porn anywhere
else than on .xxx ... should fix the issue for the prudes out there.
Because once you separate them out, the government is free to slap a tax on
.xxx websites.
Geo.
Anyone here from chase.com?

If so please pass that on to your dns folks. It's causing problems for
people who have dns anti cache poisoning enabled.

While AV scanning may be done during the session, it would also require
additional steps to also contain _all_ upstream activity within the same
session as well, when attempting to achieve an apparent point-to-point

IM model

it requires that you already have the product so manual verification isn't
necessary.

Have you ever actually tried to get the updates using this method? It really
does take the better part of a week and no less than half a dozen emails or

Cisco always has provided free upgrades
to buy an expensive contract or be willing to go thru
the gauntlet to get the patches.
Cisco needs to come up with a better way.
If your point is simply that it's possible to get the patches, well it's
possible to code them yourself too if you know assembler.

Our spam software shows 98% of all email to the RFC accounts is spam.
The reason those addresses get on the spamlists is so that you will disable
the addresses making it harder for people to report that a spammer is using
your server or your network to spam.

For those who can't download the fixes first, you should be able to turn on
