I'd like to consider targeted suggestions for fixes that address the specific challenges affecting "seasoned" upstreams vs. their downstream customers.
at this point it's hard to come up with a suggestion aside from: "stop being negligent" :( if after so many incidents and so many years, and seeing so many of your friends trip on the stairs and break an arm, you'd think providers would route-filter their customers just to avoid going to the hospital.
I can understand how an ISP with relatively little experience can mess this up (and glad to help here to educate wherever possible). But if an "established" provider is still struggling with this, why is that?
I'm going to guess: 1) who's going to pay for the filtering setup work? 2) we have always done it this way... why change? 3) adrenaline rush?
one nice thing about origin validation is that anyone who validates anywhere on the internet can reject the mis-origination(s).
+1.
