Ok, so we seem to have a general agreement that anti-spoof & BGP prefix
filtering on all standard customer edge links is a worthwhile practice.
Now what?  Is there any hope of this ever happening on a very large

mandated.)  How much success have Barry Green and co. had?  Is there
something the rest of us could be doing?
