[ga] DukeRipe Research Experiment Disrupts Internet Traffic

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Both Duke University and RIPE should know better to conduct
these sorts of experiments on public networks of any kind.
Using users as potential lab rats in this manner is totally
unprofessional at best, and can cause outages and potential
serious damage.
