What surprises me most about this entire thread is the lack of centralized filtering.
Since most service providers should be thinking about a sink hole network for security auditing (and backscatter), why not have ONE place where you advertise all unreachable, or better yet -- a default (ie everything NOT learned through BGP peers), and just forward the packets to a bit bucket.. Which is better than an access list since, now we are forwarding packets instead of sending them to a CPU to increase router load. I don't think ARIN can help the situation. ISPs just need to remove the access lists from each router in the network and centralize them. Regards, mark -- Mark Segal Director, Data Services Futureway Communications Inc.
