It might be interesting to get a sense of percentages of traffic that are "undesireable" (spam, DDOS, etc), "administrative" (logging, snmp, rmon, etc), and "user traffic". On Wed, May 05, 2004 at 01:35:09PM -0500, Laurence F. Sheldon, Jr. wrote:

Do we include the image and tabular date to and from the EROS Data Center? How about the radiographic images and resulting "readings" (or what ever the correct term is) to and from the hospital in Atkinson? Credit card transactions at FDR? I have a morbid fascination with weather so I am forever looking at maps, satellite images, and all sorts of stuff that some people tell me is a waste of my time, so I presume that is "junk" What are we talking about? -- Requiescas in pace o email Ex turpi causa non oritur actio http://members.cox.net/larrysheldon/
