How quickly can CN be firewalled anyway?
As quickly as you can write route-map filters
I just love the way (some) Americans bleat about their supposed constitutional rights to have their packets passed between any given pair of networks, but (perhaps others) are quite happy to route-map out entire subcontinents on the basis there might be a few (i.e. statistically insignificant number of) trouble makers there... Somehow I just can't imagine someone suggesting AOL / Earthlink (& I've seen plenty of 'interesting' packets from there) are blackholed for the same reason would get away with this on NANOG.
Personally, I'd *love* to firewall Earthlink and AOL... As well as /dev/null all their spam and g-line them from the IRC servers of the world and block all access from/to AIM and friends. But, alas and alack, that darned responsibility thin... Matthew Devney
