Hello Nanogers!
I'm happy to see this, and I hope C&W, Verio, and Level3 will do the

And what kind of response to DOS are we talking about? Blackholing the target IP to allow your pipe to pass packets and so that your router is pingable (which is probably the measure for whether you are up or not?)
cant speak for them, but this would be my preferred first step. next step is, of course, an attempt to filter on {source, unique characteristics, what have you} and removing the blackhole. paul
