If a few of you can stop being so pedantic for a second, the definition looks pretty easy to me: traffic unlikely to be wanted by the recipient. Presumably, if it's being sent that means somebody wanted to send it, so the senders' desires are a pretty meaningless metric.
I'm not sure that I'd agree with this statement. What about the traffic from compromised sources? The pps floods or spam emails are not being created with the knowledge of the source, so it would be hard to say that the source "wanted" to send it. -David Barak -Fully RFC 1925 Compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
