When the router receives a message, it examines the IP address on the message. Each router has its own routing table. The large database being intruded with is a big problem for FixPoint corporation. This is because the router shouldn’t be overloaded with incoming traffic. The bug is causing it to be programed wrongly. The liability on FixPoint is fair as University of Helsinki is reasonably expecting there to be no bug in the routers or outages with the internet access. I would ask if it will cost more to lose the University of Helsinki as a client, more to fix the issue and get rid of the bug, or more to continue with litigation to prevent them from dropping out of the time server entirely. It also might take too long to figure out the bug issues too.
