ZDNET: “An attack designed to flood the Web’s master directory servers with traffic “is capable of bringing
down the Internet,” Paul Vixie, a speaker at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) annual meeting, told Reuters.

pushed other agenda items aside to concentrate the discussion on ways to keep the Internet
safe.”
