I have seen large ISP's implement anomaly technologies on internet backbones, but typically, they are only useful for identifying large scale malware disruptions before they happen. They always give the slammer example, which is what, 4 years old now...

The Slammer example is usually given because it was one of the hardest attacks in the last 2 years to defend against, and one of the most damaging.


I'm not sure whether you're trying to imply that these detection capabilities "weren't up to the task" of detecting Sasser. If that's your point, why don't you take a minute to justify it?
