Re: Defeating DoS Attacks Through Accountability

But the current practice of announcing first, and only after you kill some innocent bystander's network, then fixing it; needs to stop. Every IP address should be traceable to an original recorded delegation. If the "paperwork" isn't complete or is inaccurate, we should work on fixing it. Sticking our heads in the sand, and announcing the network until someone complains is not good. How would you propose to handle the case where an organisation has their own IP space which isn't currently advertised and then you receive a request from a third party to route it to them? Mark.
