Thanks for the response Chris. I should not have used the word
"provider" when speaking of NASA. All the traceroutes I have done show
hand-off from your company though. For example:
9 193.ATM4-0.BR2.SJC1.ALTER.NET (152.63.51.181)
[...]
13 border.hcn.hq.nasa.gov (198.116.63.2)
14 realhq.hq.nasa.gov (198.116.66.254)
and
10 POS6-0.BR3.DCA6.ALTER.NET [152.63.38.117]
[...]
14 border.hcn.hq.nasa.gov [198.116.63.2]
15 realhq.hq.nasa.gov (198.116.66.254)
BTW folks are interested, but there is little data coming in to share.
As time goes on, I hope folks that show unusual traffic levels (on both
sides; eyeball networks and content networks as well as transit networks)
will send pointers to me that I can share with others. I am very
interested in flash crowd situations and how to mitigate the problems
associated with them...
