[MLB-WIRELESS] Fw: [Oz-ISP] oz.org under attack?

[vortex]

i appreciate your posting of this, but i'm not sure i agree with you that 
ddos style threats are as high a risk to a highly distributedly owned network 
than to the big i internet itself.

in fact, if anything our modelling of network growth is likely to reduce the 
risk of distributed style 'threats'. in the model of central servers 
providing a service univerally available, ddos can be a nasty adversary. in a 
distributed network, there may be some hope that ddos style threats may be 
more limited by its nature. this of course depends upon how we all offer 
services over this infrastructure, both to our own wireless infrastructures, 
other wireless infrastructures tunnelled and joined together, as well as the 
internet at large.

just some optimistic food for thought ...
