Here's the URL for the actual article:

I'm watching this because we've been pretty much maxing out our two T1
lines the last month or two, and I was amazed to find that most of our
traffic was outbound, not inbound. This may explain it, at least in
part...

A few years ago, it was P2P file sharing systems that generated new
floods of network traffic on the Internet, causing some universities to
block their use. Now, MySpace and other social network sites are
consuming huge amounts of Internet bandwidth and causing similar
concern. See sidebar for details.

         
In the Spotlight                Troubleshooting Xbox 360 Connections
Microsoft Xbox consoles support home network connections to the Xbox
Live service for multi-player Internet gaming. Unfortunately, these
network connections may fail for various reasons. If you encounter
difficulty connecting to Xbox Live, follow these procedures for
troubleshooting Xbox 360 network connection issues. If your Xbox 360 is
completely broken like mine is, call Microsoft customer support.

The name of the new cheap DSL service plan that has U.S. consumers
excited is AT&T FastAccess DSL Lite. As expected, some terms and
conditions apply, and AT&T isn't advertising the service much either.

     About Network Programming
Did you know that network programming is the use of software APIs and
development tools to build network applications? Both Unix and Windows
network programs share some of the same fundamental concepts including
sockets. So-called cross-platform network programming environments like
Java and Python also exist.
