I'm all for raising the bar on attackers and having end networks implement proper source filtering, but even with that 1000 nt machines pinging 2 packet per second is still enough to destroy a T1 customer, and likely with 1500 byte packets a T3 customer as well. You can't stop this without addressing the host security problem...
Do you believe backbone networks should do nothing?
I'm not sure what you are saying here, backbones do do something, the problem is that it's easy to fill up a T1. *really* easy.
I was asking about Chris's use of "having end networks implement proper source filtering" implying that backbones should not do so.
