How about the following :
We develop a new community , being fully transitive (666 would be appropriate ) and either build into router code or create a route map to null route anything that contains this community. The effect of this being the distribution of the force of the attack.
This has been proposed a dozen times over, and I agree that there should be a well known community for discarding packets. Go try and get the IETF to add it, let me know how it goes. :)
This aside, how effective would be using a no export community with ones peers (being non transitive, it would still distribute the force of the attack).
Many people do this already. If you're looking to purchase transit and you think this is something you'll care about, ask for it or vote with your wallet. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
