At a conference in late 1999, UUNet announced that they had anti-spoof filters in place on their dialup ports. Not that that amount to much in contrast to teh amount of spoofed DDOS traffic from cable providers, mind you...IIRC, it's the cable providers that need to put up the anti-spoofing filters the most. -C
- any big ISP have skilled security person available. When I worked in Russia, it took 10 - 15 minutes to contact your ISP and install such filters; for EUnet, it took 20 minutes; for TELIA, it was the same. For any amertican ISP, it took a week (UUnet was an exception)... - all cable providers will have src address filters, so preventing src address frauding.
