Hi Kin
When was the last attack,
Nothing happened on my dxspider, just lots of contest spots
Still on 608 on main node and test pc

Hi, 

Here is some data I was able to capture from this last attack: 

PC11|61 input/output statement counters. And their evolution. 

PC11 in     761 
PC11 out      0 
PC61 in     472 
PC61 out     20 

PC11 in    3258 
PC11 out     10 
PC61 in    3142 
PC61 out    140 

PC11 in    3353 
PC11 out     20 
PC61 in    4752 
PC61 out    270 

It is worth noting the huge difference between what I get from the 8 links I have in EA3CV-3 and what my node forwards after processing the data. 
I am using version 609 


A couple of minutes after the flooding stopped, PC11|61 was still arriving late from other nodes. At 1129Z:

If a spider discards traffic longer than 1 +- 0.5 minutes, that traffic will not be forwarded for the relief of the nodes and because it is unnecessary. 
Even if other types of nodes do not do this, at least the traffic to be analysed would be considerably reduced, freeing up resources on the spider node. 

The attack occurred more than 15 min ago, and spots are still arriving with a delay of up to 9 min. It is 1139Z:

By 1141Z (no attack) the network delays seem to have normalised.

*What is interesting is DXDupe and on the PC11|61 in IN/OUT. 


A small sample of what is received from a DXSpider (EA3CV-3) and on a CCCluster (N2WQ-1). 
Connection as a client on each of the nodes, so it represents in real time what the user is seeing.

With this information, if someone were to ask me: what software do you recommend? I think the answer is clear and well-founded. 

The effort Dirk has made to get to the CQ WPX on time has been worth it, too bad that there are still too many nodes not upgraded. 
Once again, thank you Dirk. 

We are still behind the trench.
