Looking at my server usage and reading list discussion, it's clear
that many pool participants are implementing some sort of personal
protection against abusive clients. That's a reasonable and necessary
thing, but it carries a risk: those clients are going to go looking
for another server in the pool. If 75% of the pool is protecting
itself, the other 25% is going to be screwed.
So far I've sent out a few abuse emails: "I get so many requests/minute
from your IP, will you be so kind to bring it down to less than
one/minute." often with good success. In nearly all cases the
administrators are not aware of the bad behaviour of their NTP clients.
Has there been any thought towards building a common group defense?
Educating people. :) So far there haven't been any intentional attacks
that I know of.
Greetings,
Peter.
