Those of us running backbones (well, some of us, anyway) are spending a portion of our energies tracing these attacks. The discussion here is proving helpful, and I definitely think it should continue.

What sort of experiences have people had eliciting cooperation from other providers, when attempting to trace?

Largely bad ones :(

I'm currently attempting to trace one, and have gotten it to the edge of our network, but have spent the last twelve hours attempting to get cooperation from the NSP at mae-west I've tracked it to.

We need to get some sort of rapid response system going so that people can know who to call to get cooperation quickly -- the phone tag problem alone right now is causing significant damage... Perry
