Re: BCP38 making it work, solving problems

For example, how many ISPs use TCP MD5 to limit the possibility of a BGP/TCP connection getting hijacked or disrupted by a ddos attack?

i hope none use it for the latter, as it will not help. more and more use it for the former. why? becuase they perceived the need to solve an immediate problem, a weakness in a vendor's code.

Where ingress filters don't help, of course, is when the attacks come from an apparently-legitimate address.

many folk see that this is the vast majority of the cases. hence, one reason for the lack of adoption of rfc 2827 randy
