The problem I had involved no outages. A few hundred workunits went out, were out for a few hours, then the majority tried to come back at the same time. My project was running on a "home" Internet connection, so two or three users could be enough to saturate the project bandwidth. But increase the numbers and it could happen to a "real" project too. A project without a constant stream of work. It sends a bunch of workunits, clients get them and go quiet for a while. If most take around the same time to finish, you get a DDoS when they try to upload. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
