Anyone for a weekly 'bogons transit list'? The problem being, that you would need to know where these packets originated, and if you knew that, you could probably get the problem fixed in the first place.
You really think so? Some of us have tried to persuade the 'big names' to filter completely bogus source addresses, and were blown off.
Lack of a soci-technological solution for interprovider backtracing limits the utility of this, and since you can't really pin point the 10 ten bogon transit providers you don't have much ability to shame people into fixing their stuff.
You can at least conclusively show who is transporting the invalid-source-address-packets to the endpoint. That is, conclusively show that the next-to-last-hop isnt properly filtering. -Dan
