Subject: what's going on with yahoo and gmail lately?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Ever since the 'Akamai' Incident, Yahoo Mail hasn't been the same. 
 
I can ping to it just fine, I just can't login and read my yahoo mail.
When I can it's really slow. Ever since the Upgrades and the Akamai
incident, Yahoo has been really out of whack when accessing from
Comcast.
 
I'm also having issues with Gmail. But atleast gmail Isn't as bad,
just really slow.
 
ping mail.yahoo.com

Re: real-time DDoS help?

2004-06-19 Thread Jonathan Slivko

Hmmm.
Maybe if NANOG had irc.nanog.org, maybe that might be something to
consider - a real-time network of communication for network operators
to deal with issues, etc.

 Howdy,
 
 Is there any place where people with experience dealing with DDoS attacks
 hang out?  I'm getting very little assistance from my upstream beyond
 call whomever is in charge of each IP attacking and make them stop, and
 even though we null route the destination IP being attacked, this traffic
 will be billed.
 
 I've got a nice snippet of flows, so I can mostly see where everything is
 coming from, and it's obvious what the target is, but my
 flow-stat/flow-report skills are pretty weak.
 
 Oddly, in eight years of working for smallish ISPs I've never been hit
 very hard, believe it or not.  Is the response from my upstream typical?
 I was expecting a bit more cooperation rather than them seeing as this as
 an opportunity to bill me for lots of traffic.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Charles

Re: Network Performance Testing Equipment

Vicky,
Hmmm. Netperf usually does the trick for network load testing. At
least thats what we use at work :)

 Hi there,
 
 Just wondering what folks out there have used or are using (such as
 smartbits, etc) for measuring the performance (benchmark) limits for
 engineering and qa testing. I'm looking at doing end-to-end performance
 testing to monitor throughput for networking gear.
 
 Any insight to this topic will be appreciated.
