Digital Island sponsors DoS attempt?

["Christopher J. Wolff" <chris () bblabs com>]

Hello friends,

My IDS was just tripped over 300 times.  The decoded packet says:

mailto:abuse () digisle com for questions
This ICMP ECHO REQUEST/REPLY is part of the real-time network monitoring
performed by Digital Island Inc.  It is not an attack.  If you have
questions please contact

We are not on their network or in any way affiliated with Digital Island,
I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this anomaly, if it is legit, or if
it is a real attack being spoofed from Digital Island...no response from
abuse () digisle com yet.

Christopher J. Wolff, VP, CIO
