This does not mean you can't filter on your fastether,
ether, fddi, etc.. that goes to customer aggregation boxes, or on
the T1 where that connectivity hits your core backbone node, (I
understand there are cases where this would not work, for some
larger customers perhaps), but for most cases, this would be possible.
If i have network topology that provides the following
scenario:

Where access lan is any number of customer aggregation
boxes, such as 36xx w/ t1 intfs, (dial) access boxes, etc, you
can source filter that lan at that point instead of the edge.
If you manage lans similar to this, you shouldn't allow
your dial customers to spoof and start these attacks.
