Wouldn't you want BCP38 policies to be as close as possible to the traffic sources? Instead of creating more "fake" traffic? And at the same time, partial filtering doesn't seem as a very effective way to fight spoofed traffic on a large scale. On 03/24/2017 11:07 AM, Florian Weimer wrote:

My google fu is failing me, but I believe there was a NANOG posting a year or two ago that mentioned that if the top x providers would implement BCP 38 then y% of the traffic (or Internet) would be de-spoofed. The point was that we don't even need everyone to implement BCP 38, but if the largest (transit?) providers did it, then UDP reflection attacks could be minimized.
If someone can recall the key words in that posting and dig it up, that would be much appreciated. A double lookup of the packet is twice as expensive and perhaps impractical in some (or many) cases. Do you actually have to filter all packets?
Or could you just sample a subset and police the offenders, on the assumption that if you don't implement an anti-spoofing policy, you end up with near-constant leakage?
