As somebody who picked a DSL provider specifically because it allows me to run any kind of server I want, I'm not highly in favor of blocking traffic from broadband users and killing the end-to-end principle that makes the Internet work,
When I sign up for an internet account, does the fine print say that I am to accept all garbage pouring out of the RJ-45...? Why should it be the recipients job to filter all incoming traffic? When my PC grabs an IP address, I'd expect to see zero traffic from the world unless I make a request for content. Only then should I see traffic and only the content I requested. Adi
