Ew, stinky. Much as China's firewall behaves, as I recall - ISTR it's possible to overcome with some trickery, but I wasn't paying attention. :-P

Still, wherever there's a major peering point along one's path within the US, you know there's quiet attention being paid..

Overcoming China's firewall is the same way you overcome the comcast trickery - ignore the RST / wait a bit for incoming packets after RST, which would indicate possible forgeries. Taking Computer Networks this semester - I shall have the skills to actually code something like that, hopefully.

Peering point? Whatthat? (ah, side note on peers not covered in the linked-to post that was mentioned in a previous slashdot article: Comcast allows their own users to connect with each other. It's just going off their network bothers them, I believe.)
