Why ISPs are responsible for incredibly low rates of newly registered Internet

Maybe you thought only you find it, or maybe have blamed Internet providers for low speeds painfully experienced in recent days. Well, well you did (and here I mean the thing ISPs), Considering that, although indirectly, most of the fault is theirs.

Doing a quick summary, Internet received day the biggest shot ever recorded in history, Namely a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) Who initially registered a Traffic 85Gbps. After traffic has increased to the point that Internet was to "expire".

Who and what is responsible for the DDoS attack?

The dispute that led to the largest DDoS attack ever recorded is one (still valid) between a company which spam on the Internet and company that hosts websites. The dispute started when SpamhausCompany that fights spam, added cyberbunkerThe company that hosts websites on blacklist they use all email providers to protect customers from spam. Attacks on Spamhaus began on May 19 March concentrating them Data streams can support higher than Internet connections dintoate countries (This is generated by a cluster computers named botnets). When the first attacks they have paid off in spades attempt to Spamhaus, at the cyberbunker exploited a existing vulnerability in DNS (Domain Name Server), Thereby endangering Internet infrastructure.

Why Internet providers are guilty?

If you wonder what job does Hall prefecture (ie why ISPs are guilty when they are not responsible for DDoS attack), Well, the vast majority of Internet providers have left resolverele open DNS (Operators have not ensured that traffic who leaves networks It comes in from their own users). The community formed around the project Open DNS Resolver identified 25 million over open DNS Resolvers worldwide. Where we conclude that the current situation of the Internet could have been avoided if internet providers would have solved the problem resolverelor DNS (resolving that would have required only a little time and not much money) DDoS attack It is virtually impossible in these conditions.

How can this problem be solved?

Well firstly depends strongly ISPsIt must solve the problem with DNS resolverele open (preferably almost all over 25 million in the same time). Until then we can only pray that DDoS attack on Spamhaus will not cyberbunker hurt Internet all.
