The moment that you host site X in your network which you make available only for peering, and you also have site Y which is peering+transit, one can just attack site Y and you will go down. Then you send a polite mail to the $ISP and say "I'll DDoS Y if you don't take care of X", and that is what happened in this case from what I upto now understand. Nothing that really can be done about this, except of getting rid of all the bots.... and that is a very difficult problem. Catching the people who are doing this is the proper way to go. This requires proper legislation and clueful people who can enforce those rules along with cooperation of ISPs. The bad thing about all of this that in a way it will limit the freedom that people have on the internet, but if that is the only thing that can solve that problem, then so be it... Greets, Jeroen
