-We cannot even consider hosts who are connected though NOCs with less than 3 Gbps bandwidth due to DDOS concerns. No cablemodems or DSL either, obviously. Preference is given to those with (at least) a dual-homed connection. The closer to a large backbone the better. We're looking for high reliability, low latency connections. We get targeted with DDOS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) from time to time. Your ISP must not be the type who will bill you for the bandwidth or discontinue your service if they discover you were the target of the DDOS. Even better if they will work with you to filter out the attack upstream, though an acceptable response is for them to simply block outside access to your server until the attack ends. Ports 6667, 16667, 7000, 9998 and 4400 must be available on your IP.+We cannot even consider hosts who are connected though NOCs with less than 3 Gbps bandwidth due to DDOS concerns.

 We only want people who believe in free speech, quality customer service, contributing to the network, and group decision making. Ability to handle power with restraint and responsibility is a MUST. You must also be 100% above board. This is not a place for those with involvement in activities such as spamming, botrunning, and other black-hat thuggery. We only want people who believe in free speech, quality customer service, contributing to the network, and group decision making.

 +Please submit the results of a ping and a traceroute to each of the current AfterNET servers. You can ask a current oper for a list of server IPs. For example, you might run the following commands and include in your application the contents of the afternet.txt file:
 +
 +<code>
 +cat afternet-server-ips.txt | xargs -n 1 ping -c 10 >> afternet.txt
 +cat afternet-server-ips.txt | xargs -n 1 traceroute >> afternet.txt

 We will need to arrange ping tests to your IP, so if you block pings, please tell us the next-hop up from you which does not (must be in the same physical location): We will need to arrange ping tests to your IP, so if you block pings, please tell us the next-hop up from you which does not (must be in the same physical location):
