My comment from September 11, 1996 (that's not a typo) http://www.cctec.com/maillists/nanog/historical/9609/msg00302.html But what's interesting is Paul Vixie is speaking about a very narrow requirement, but when it gets translated into government regulation talk, its very different than where we started. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,651686,00.asp "Meanwhile, U.S. government security officials are discussing the possibility of creating new regulations that would require federal agencies to buy Internet service only from ISPs that have DDoS protection on their networks, according to people familiar with the situation. Such a decision could place economic pressure on the other ISPs to follow suit, thereby improving Internet security."

just how would an isp stamp themselves with the "DDoS protected" rubber stamp? I'm just curious as to what the next sales person is going to request as a product/service they're going to want to charge customers for. best practices like filtering != DDoS protection imho
Am I the only one to find this ludicrous? Expecting ICANN to competently hand these things is analogous to asking the Captain of the "Titanic" about how to handle icebergs. Peter
