Think back to the early LANs run on coax at 10Mbps. Actually, standard cable can run upto 20Mbps on the download side, but in order for that to be usefull they would need a huge pipe connected to their CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System). Check out the specs for Docsis 2.0 and soon hope for Docsis 3.0 to roll out (Not in the very near future though)
The only logs my ISP keeps are mail, and intrusion. Instrusion logs get cycled weekly (If you don't catch an intrusion in a week, you probably won't). Mail logs are kept for 3 days to track issues.
This is already several Gigs worth of data.
We'd need a SAN to keep all of the traffic logs. We have modem customers that flow upto 10 Mb/s... I couldn't imagine trying to log it all.
Ok Say we spend $$$$$$ to keep all the logs... then to have to filter through it to find specific data... nightmare. Our leases are only 24 hours... a lot of people can have an IP address within a months time...
Where do I find the Right to Fly? Is it before or after the 4th amendment?

He works 5 days/week, 4 weeks/month, so that's 960 meters per month.
We'll say he gets paid $15 (intentionally high)per hour
works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month while being paid $15/hr... RIIIGHT! Bring me the union worker that is physically working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month at $15/hr.
I know a few linemen that wrk for the power company that pull over $100k/year. Their day goes something like this...
7am - punch in
7-8am - get schedule, drink coffee
be at the job site by 9am (ish)
work until 11:30 am - lunch until 12:30 pm
work until 2pm
clean up
punch out at 3pm.
If they have to work over 3 hours OT, they get paid for the next 8 hours. If they actually have to work a double.. they get paid for 24, if they go even an hour over a double, get get paid for this 24, and have a paid day off the next day.
Maybe a better union the water works, but probably not by much.
ok there's a difference between security scanning each customer, and blocking outbound spam and viral traffic. Blocking bad stuff is easy, and we do it. Implimenting the "Scan each host before allowing them online" i what I was commenting about.
It's easier and cheaper to silently block bad stuff, then to spend the man hours dealing with the customers issues.
Yeah in a perfect world, we could teach each customer how to be secure the first time we speak with them. The problems is customers don't care... It's the "Yeah Yeah, just fix it" attitude.
I agree the internet would be a better place if all this was financially possible.
We pay for bandwidth just like everyone else, but in full pipe pricing(We pay the same if we flow 5 Mb or 45 Mb through each DS3).
A spammer on our network may clog our LAN for a few minutes, but it doesn't get out onto the internet.
If you want ssh, telnet and all the other toys, plug a real linux box into your network !
Sure... Sell me your linux box for $71.
Seriously, yeah people like my father would just want to plug it in and use the storage. Like in the article why wouldn't I want to use NFS if I could?
I wonder how much web traffic it could handle?
ISPs that take a few basic precautions sit back and laugh as their competitors get ravaged by the worm of the week, while zombied windows boxes spam everyone and get the whole ISP blackholed, etc.
We do simple things like block outbound SMTP except to our servers which require authentication.
You pay one person to keep up on the script-kiddy tools and you block the ports they tend to use, or program your router to drop certain scanning packets, making it look like the computers you host are immune to the bug. Trivial stuff really.
Sure and that increases the cost / subscriber therefore increasing the cost to the consumer.
While I agree that these things need to be contained/delt with. That doesn't stop the fact that ISP's need to make money to stay in business. If the CEOs have to make a choice between loosing a customer or polluting the interenet... the customer's will be allowed. We have implimented solutions that look for 'virus/worm/spam' traffic, and redirect http requests to a site that tells them they're infected, but that's not 100% accurate.
Do you have any idea how clueless the average broadband user is?
Do you have any idea the cost involved in setting up the system you have described in equipment, admin time, programmer time, etc...?
Who's responsible for fixing the vulnerabilities once found? Who's responsible if the vuln check actually harms the users computer or data? How do you prove it?
The ISPs are not some large benevolent entity. They're init to make a profit. Sorry, yes, they like money. Numerous phone calls to techsupport deal with questions that start, It used to work when I had AOL. Yeah we all know AOL sucks, but apparently they make money. Cusomters don't want to hear, this isn't AOL, this is a real internet provider, they want to surf their p0rn, and chatrooms. If fixing a customer will loose the customer..they're not going to do it. It's bad business sense.
Guess who gets the cost of fixing these customers, you do as the consumer.
Now balance it. The ISP deals with a handful of customers (out of their total subscriber base), or increases costs to all... You try to explain to grandma why her internet bill increased by 10%.

All Firewalls are hardware...

Oh... wait... you were talking about network firewalls...
Sorry Over 20 Mbps, and it's based on freq modulation, not raw voltage.

..Would it take to transcode a DVD to Divx on one of those???
Even so, do you really think there is a solid link between MS Security Support and 911?
Umm... 90+% of 911 dispatch software runs only on Microsoft Windows...

That about covers it.
Oh and Linux users can use it. There have been reported successes using this card with MythTV.
