 From the avoiding denial-of-service-attacks-that-impact-your-network
point of view, putting your attractive-to-irritating-script-kiddies hosts
on a separate network is a good thing, as you can always drop the specific
network to save the performance of the rest of your network.

If you happen to have a spare ASN around to do so with, even better.
