The University of Wisconsin-Madison uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) for backbone transport. We further use LAN Emulation (LANE) on the Asynchronous Transfer Mode backbone (LANE maps IP addresses to ATM Virtual Circuits and back to IP at the far end). The LANE BUS (Broadcast and Unknown Server) on the network was swamped due to the high volume of SQLSlammer hits on broadcast and unknown addresses, effectively denying legitimate traffic. This BUS saturation did not happen with the Code Red worm several months back. We spent several hours thinking our ATM problems were distinct from the SQLSlammer problems. My question is, has anyone seen source information about the Bank of America and Automated Teller Machines? Is it possible that Bank of America was reporting Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) problems and not Automated Teller Machine (ATM) problems? Dave - -- David Devereaux-Weber, P.E.
