This is not a nice thing to do to a router, especially while the router is trying to keep up with 50 other customers... And if more than 1 customer wants this type of service, you start really feeling the load.
I'm not saying UUNet should install whatever filters I want on their routers. I'm just saying the net would be a MUCH nicer place if NSP's all did ingress filtering on their customer connections. If current routers can't handle the load this would create, then NSP's need to find vendors willing to deliver the necessary power, or they need to rethink the way they design their networks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.
