Re: Trouble accessing www.nanog.org

2012-01-04 Thread Wessels, Duane

The brief problem in accessing www.nanog.org was due to numerous parallel
downloads of a large video file by a single source IP address.  We have
no reason to believe it was malicious in intent, but the offender has been
blocked anyway.

Anyone from AS37986 around?

[WEG] In the lovely CGN future, not only will you see this type of behavior 
(multiple pulls from the same IP) all of the time, your response to block it 
would have taken tens or hundreds of users out of service simultaneously.
/troll

Not meant to fault your response, merely to point out yet one more way that CGN 
is likely to break things where an assumption of 1 IP = 1 user/host/network 
exists.

There was a single source IP with 200+ open, active http connections to a 
single large media file.  The single IP address was blocked.  The file itself 
is still available on the site.

oh! so the 200 or so users on tulip.net that were downloading nanog

Err, while we're talking about video files and nanog, why is the video

Why not use one of the many video serving services? some of which are

RE: Trouble accessing www.nanog.org

2012-01-05 Thread Keith Medcalf

There is video hosting web sites on the intertubes?

Now where would those be found, I wonder.  All I have ever seen is 
macro-streaming that is fraudulently labeled and advertised as video -- the 
worst being something called FlashVirus, which was written by a company called 
MacroVirus Media or something like that, and currently owned and flogged by 
Adobe along with their "Proprietary Document Format" (the latest versions of 
which boast UVTD technology -- Unstoppable Virus Transport and Distribution).

If the so-called video contains arbitrary executable code (or can run arbitrary 
executable code), or requires the use of a specific application to "play" (or 
infect the target), then it should not be described as "video".  It is a 
streaming-macro.

Microsoft was the first OS vendor to add the "Execute Payload" header to IP 
which saved much time and effort in the distribution of malicious code via the 
internet.  Unfortunatly, Adobe and several other vendors have patents on what 
is called the method of "Executable Data" and made Microsoft remove their 
wonderous invention under pain of patent lawsuits.

Of course, maybe whats meant is File hosting, where the File being hosted just 
happens to contain video data in standard data format (preferably a pure-data 
format that does not embed execution macros of any type).

;)

Is H.264 Turing-complete ? Is Ogg-Vorbis ? (It seems like those are
the two reasonable open standard choices.))

many send an appropriate format for the browser being used:
