I agree with you completely -- sort of. Only problem is there are thought to be some 3,000 dial access providers. Many of them barely know what a TCP SYN is, let alone why they need to block ones with random source addresses and how. Unless of course you are volunteering to explain it and help them. Thanks in advance. :-)
We are currently blocking any outgoing packets which have a source address which is not advertised by us. I have also crossposted Avi's and Craig's access filter list for Border routers to the inet-access mailing list which has approx 2,000 subscribers, mostly small ISP's. Maybe it'll help. Maybe not.
