Can somebody explain to me why those who run eyeball networks are able to block outbound packets when the customer hasn't paid their bill, but can't seem to block packets that shouldn't be coming from that cablemodem?
The purported argument is "our edge concentrators don't have that knob/ enough horsepower to do it manually and stay on the line card". I'm not sure how accurate that argument is any more and (as I noted in another reply just now[1]), I'm officially not buying it anymore.
