So instead of trying to determine what percentage of internet traffic is junk, why don't we set up categories (I saw someone make a start at it a couple of messages back) and figure out what percentage of traffic fits under each category. We can come up with our own opinions as towhich of those categories is junk.So I guess we would start with stuff that stands as a major category: e-mail, nntp, ftp, telnet, ssh, web... and then you start doing a lot of subcategorizations. I imagine it would start looking like ahierarchical org chart.
I imagine there are places that already produce statistics by protocol, and I am reluctant to endorse a program that says one protocol is junk and another is not. I would prefer (but have no clue as to how to do) a catagorization that has handles like "business transactions", "student research", "warehouse transfers", "recreational", and so on until what ever is left is counted as "junk" or some ephemistically similar term. -- Requiescas in pace o email Ex turpi causa non oritur actio http://members.cox.net/larrysheldon/
