Doesn't anyone on a usage-sensitive leased-line connection pay based on the traffic regardless of the "legitimacy" of the hits received? Isn't this why we all hunt down SMURFers? /John
To some extent that's true. However, as a counter-point, consider such sites as sunsite, wustl, smc.vnet.net, etc. I doubt those sites would continue to exist in a solely bandwidth sensitive pay-as-you-go world. I think they count on flat rate connectivity to be able to continue to exist. I don't think the elimination of those sites (and many others like them) would benefit the net. Do you? Owen
