Sure there are some cases that are hard or impossible to account for, but it would be helpful for ISP's to take a stance that "here's your address space. Unless you tell us otherwise, we assume its not subnetted, and we will block your broadcast addresse. If you subnet or otherwise change your broadcast address, you will need to notify us"
I think this might be a workable solution. But I work for an ISP that has a bunch of statically routed customers, where the only BGP announcements are traded with our two upstreams, and I don't have experience at a provider who has tons of BGP-enabled clients who might have to deal with this on a large scale. So I might be missing something. -- Steve Sobol [sjsobol@nacs.net] Part-time Support Droid [support@nacs.net] NACS Spaminator [abuse@nacs.net] Spotted on a bumper sticker: "Possum.
