Implementing RFC 2827 (ingress filtering) and RFC 2644 (disabling directed broadcast) is more than just a nice idea. These are both BCPs, since they both represent methods for limiting damage to the Internet. When negotiating contracts with downstream clients, perhaps adding language that insists on implementation of these would be worthwhile? The documents were written and given BCP status so that the community can refer to them and hopefully increase the number of sites that comply. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie [email protected] Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com
