The tool is a set of executable files simulating types of activities that a Notes user would be doing on a Domino server. The software reports the average number of Notes transactions completed per minute and the maximum number of users that can be supported with a response time of less than five seconds.

Hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded the preventative patch Microsoft has issued for its server software. While Code Red launches a denial-of-service attack, its real threat to most users is its ability to slow down the Internet. In seeking out other computers servers to degrade, the worm can bog down the Net with extraneous data requests, slowing sites to a near-halt.

Some ISPs will begin doing "right-side verification," meaning that they will stop relaying outgoing messages that don't have the original carrier's address in the "from" field. The corporate users may have a problem with this because many rely on e-mail-relaying techniques to use corporate e-mail addresses over consumer ISP accounts.

Some in the U.S. business world believe that if profit-minded types had been at the helm when the Internet was created 30 years ago, the medium would deliver business data with the high priority it deserves; everyone else would just have to wait.
