Chris,
W.R.T. #2 below:
Be for real: No one ever suggested that backbone service providers attempt to ingress filter traffic -- this is an edge function.
ah, cause I thought 'everyone should do bcp38' mean 'everyone'... I agree that it's a great thing, I think 'everyone' should do it, I even thing we should where possible. I think LOTS of this would go away if people filtered their lan segments... tey have the horsey's there to do it without the compromises that must be taken at the 'core' (or 'more central portions of 'the net') And I was sorta yanking your chain some :)
Cheers,

you could google answers from other folks but in shor: 1) it doesn't always work as advertised 2) people don't always tell you the routes the hold 3) equipment vendors don't alway splan properly for 'features'
Not everyone is as smart as you (both) and can manage that problem as they scale...
