I've talked to Eddie a few times about it and he's in a waiting stage.
One of his finest moments, although some credit certainly goes to Ms. Stewart's script, is the split-stage scene in which Claudine waits stage right, with her bags packed, for Henry to arrive.
Waiting stage, where the bot waits for the bot-master's command (and does not exhibit much activity otherwise).
At the waiting stage, a node keeps waiting slot by slot until it gets a new packet and moves into the backoff states.
"That waiting stage was just unbearable," Jared Younger said at his father's funeral Wednesday.
"[I could have] got rid of it a lot sooner and gone back to work, instead of missing time at work" (patient 11) For a few participants, delay had proved to be alarming because their symptoms had, in their opinion, "just gone past the waiting stage" (patient 8).
Crowding: takes value 1 if the transfer is overcrowded (involving walking and waiting stages) and 0 otherwise.
Hence, the communication between the bot-master and his bots, or that of bots amongst themselves, is expected to be low in volume (note here that this usually corresponds to the rally and waiting stages; 'execution' stage can be aggressive or stealthy depending upon the activity for which the bots are used; DDoS attack can be quite aggressive, while password stealing may remain stealthy).
It aims to detect the stealthy behavior of P2P botnets, that is, when they lie dormant in their rally or waiting stages (to evade intrusion detection systems which look for anomalous communication patterns) or while they perform malicious activities (spamming, password stealing, etc). in a manner which is not observable to a network administrator.
In the Commons, some Tory MPs slowed down the debate to make Gordon Brown wait to stage his latest rare appearance.
