What happened to the acronyms "AUP" and "TOS"?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm talking about an ISPs liability to third party victims, not to their customers.
"Acceptable Use Policy" and "Terms of Service"
AUP/TOS are between the ISP and their customer.
Very good. Does that provide an answer to the earlier question about "what is a provider to do?" when a customer misbehaves? Does that provide a method for assigning liability? I am not a lawyer, but it doesn't seem a stretch to me to include, in this context, traffic from peers and transit providers. -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
