* David Hubbard:Residential computers with enough bandwidth to DoS hosting providers; that should be fun.How is this different from a typical dorm network? (Perhaps with all that P2P filtering software in place, it's a mere self-DoS nowadays, but the analogy was not that far off five years ago or so, with less bandwidth, of course.)
Three colleges I've worked at were pretty progressive in their monitoring, rate limiting and proactive management of dorm networks; i.e. full bandwidth to campus, i2, etc. destinations but maybe not to other remote locations, automated responses to bad behavior characteristics, etc. I'm far less worried about someone in a dorm launching a full gig of http requests against one IP than a residential computer doing that for 36 hours before someone from Google takes note. If they manage the broadband abuse they way they do gmail forum spammers, I don't have high hopes. David
