Normally a router gets a packet and sends it on its way without looking at the source. However, if you have a router at the IX which has _only_ peer routes and your routes, that solves the problem. If I send you a packet for Comcast, your peering router will drop it and send an ICMP Network Unreachable. No filters to manage, no RIRs to sync, nothing to code, etc.

This is what we do, and to make it more interesting, we have 0/0 and ::/0 on these dedicated peering routers pointing to Null0. Mark.
