Package: ieee-data

Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The monthly cron keeps erroring out like : 
'run-parts: /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data exited with return code 1'.

After removing all quiet options from wget in /usr/bin/update-oui I got 
following output:

--2016-05-01 06:55:25--  (try:20)  http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
Connecting to standards.ieee.org (standards.ieee.org)|140.98.193.116|:80... 
connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection reset by peer) 
in headers.
Giving up.

So it looks like standards.ieee.org is being DoS'd every 1st of the month, not 
unlikely 
if all Debian systems connect on the same day at the same time to 
standards.ieee.org ?

Yesterday I added a sleep of a day in the monthly cron and it ran ok this time.

I don't know how Debian best addresses this (random day instead of the 1st? 
include the oui.txt in package and move it to jessie-updates?) but thought I 
report it.

Thx,
Geert
