Re: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Abuse in general

This is a very valid point and exposes a shortcoming in our collective 
thinking, thanks!

We are guilty of only identifying characteristics of  "fast flux", The Bad 
Thing.
By having only this definition, the implication is "if it's not 
characteristically fast flux, then it's A Good Thing".

So, it would be useful to create an item list of bunny rabbit networks.

I'll propose some characteristics to get us started:


 *   manipulates TTL values to achieve resiliencey and high availability
 *   runs name and other Internet services, with authorization, on owner- or 
agent-operated equipment
 *   uses licensed software installed with informed consent by owner-operators
 *   uses address blocks assigned to the registrant, registrant's 
agents/operators

Perhaps we can continue this on the phone call. See you there.

Agreed. I'll do so from now on, but as the chronology demonstrates,
there's been a void in describing the non-criminal aspects, and
hopefully now that we have a proper term to call the underlying
technology (content agnostic) we can avoid confusion (although some
people will still refer to fast flux using a broader definition; just
not us).
