Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't you block this with routing as well? The attack seems to be based on the fact that your NAP routers have routes to other NAP LANs. Let's say you connect to just MAE-E and MAE-W. At MAE-E, add a route for the MAE-W network to null0. Do the opposite at MAE-W. While this may not work for everyone, is should work for the majority. It may also be more pleasant then adding filters to a high speed interface. Jeff Swinton At 03:53 PM 11/25/97 +0000, Neil J. McRae wrote:

Hmm unfortuntely for us GRF owners it seems that filterd cannot deal with filter this. Joy! I wonder how many months for a fix!?
