Are you learning? 2. Are you having fun? 3. Are you building value? If all of the answers are yes, then it's ham radio, everything else is behavior, politics and religion. Some have had trouble with my previous reply thinking I was against these things, but I was mostly playing devils advocate. --- Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1993 19:33:54 -0800 From: postel@ISI.EDU (Jon Postel) Subject: Re- TCP broadcast storm To: braden@ISI.EDU > No way.

Bob: The Morris Worm did not bring down the Internet. The Internet was very efficient and effective in delivering the Worm attack to numerous end hosts, many of which became too busy to do useful work, and were re-attacked when local efforts were made to clear them. However, neither the Internet routers, nor the lines were in anyway attacked or out of service due to the Morris Worm. --jon. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Nov 93 11:57:13 EST From: PLOSKIT@WMAVM7.VNET.IBM.COM To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu lists ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V93 #289 ****************************** ******************************
