[CentOS] [Possibly OT] - General question: state of internet traffic
Greetings, I've read reports that there has been degradation in Internet traffic over the last month. Until today, I haven't experienced any. However, getting bank record data from chase.com here in NYC seems impossible. I also noticed erratic ftp behavior today; connections can be made but data can't be transferred. This isn't consistent, though. (I have a machine in LA while being in NYC; ftp traffic is difficult to establish westbound; no problem eastbound). I haven't done any sort of consistent test, so I am not sounding alarms. I'm just trying to get a sense of where this is happening. And is there a reliable source of information. Much thanks Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

You might review this list for the DNS thread. Seems that SpamHaus and Cyberbunker got into a pissing contest with some of the Cyberbunker sympathizers (not I) directing a DDoS attack against them exploiting open DNS resolvers around the net to the tune of upwards of 300Gbps against Spamhaus.> I also noticed erratic ftp behavior today; connections can be made but > data can't be transferred.

Nothing red. No major congestion, ATM.> I haven't done any sort of consistent test, so I am not sounding alarms. > I'm just trying to get a sense of where this is happening. > And is there a reliable source of information.> Much thanks> Max Pyziur > pyz at brama.comRegards, Mike -- Michael H.

Every major US bank is under a constant DoS attack, which sometimes causes the sites to be slow. This is unrelated to the little squabble going on between SpamHaus and CyberBunker, though.> (I have a machine in LA while being in NYC; ftp traffic is difficult to > establish westbound; no problem eastbound).I'm in NJ and able to contact servers in Fremont, Dallas, NYC and Amsterdam without any issue. I suspect you have local issues. -- rgds Stephen
