Thanks for the kind works. Just to be clear: I'm not working on a _product_, just on a paper explaining how to do this using standard components and protocols. > As near as I can tell this doesn't scale too well in a large network. If you have a router that can forward 10 Gbps into the right direction, you can also have a router forward 10 Gbps in the wrong direction. That's pretty much all it takes. > This is a shame, but its a reality.

So you're only limited by the number of routes a Cisco can hold. 20k per customer under attack should be doable without too much effort, more should be possible, but filtering 0/0 defeats the purpose. Also, it can be done using a single line, so no problem there.
