The ghostly chatter of neglected computers is getting louder. And it
could spell the end of the Net as we know it
By Andrew Orlowski
07 April 2004
The internet's watchmen have discovered that their network tumbled
into the world with a potentially fatal birth defect. The cause?
"Background radiation". The constant chatter of machines that lie
awake while we sleep, and their long memories, pose a threat to future
health of the system.
Some of the internet's most senior figures now think this issue needs
urgent attention. Karl Auerbach, one of its pioneering technicians,
wrote last year: "There are indications that the internet, at least as
we know it today, is dying." He was referring to the flow of "junk"
traffic; a sort of background static in the world of the Net.
Unnoticed by you or me, it is the result of neglected machines making
eerie "zombie" calls.
