I asked one of the sales guys from a major international backbone provider why they didn’t allocating a small portion of these IPs as tarpits? His response: ”Our mission isn’t to save the Internet.” Honestly though, it should be, it’d be in everyone’s interest to minimize capacity used by worms and bots and free bandwidth that could be used productively for other purposes.

    • There is enough dark fiber/unlit fiber,
      In the dot-com bubble, a large number[citation needed] of telephone companies (telcos) built optical fiber networks, each with the business plan of cornering the market in telecommunications by providing a network with sufficient capacity to take all existing and forecast traffic for the entire region served. This was based on the assumption that telecoms traffic, particularly data traffic, would continue to grow exponentially for the foreseeable future.

      The problem is slow servers with old hard drives. My lap top runs better than the server i have from godaddy.

      Its the admin's job to stop a dos or a distributed denial-of-service attack.
