CISCO can filter by any SRC address. The only question I am asking every time is _would CISCO can do it by default and by direct routing tables?_. THis means something like: interface xxx ip src-filtering selfpaths and that means _packet from interface xxx should be received ONLY if SRC address should be routed to the same interface_ (if you have 193.124.25.0/24 network statically routed to your interface, and address 194.58.1.1/30 on this interface, you can only send packets with the SRC addresses 193.124.25.0/24 and 194.58.1.1/30. And it's important to understand _IT SHOULD BE DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR ON THE ACCESS SERVERS_ (may be controlled by some extra comman), so that any (even dumb) network administrators could use this property withouth extra configuration. ------------------- On Wed, 18 Feb 1998, Tatsuya Kawasaki wrote:

paul, it sounds a good idea but is it possible? I don't think cisco can filter by wrong SRC address bases. ^^^^^ you still can use still use any ip on the same segment. (Big deal, huh? :-) ) Furthermore, it will cause some problem for Mobile IP stuff, if I remember correctly.

Good news.
One more question (just is there is someone from the CISCO) - what's about source-address filtering at default for the access servers/routers? Note all this problems (SMURF, DENIAL-ATTACK, DNS-FRAUDING, etc etc) can be 100% blocked if ISP would not allow it's customers to send IP packets with the wrong SRC address. If not, they (hackers) should found new, new and new tricks to fraud any IP network.
You can apply the RPF idiom from multicast to block unicast flooding. This would instantly solve the problem, though I am not sure what overhead the path evaluation would incur.
