Well said. I also want to point out that, I believe several people discussing this thread are confusing ISP's who just provide Internet Services direct to end users, with transit providers who are soley providing transit to other ISP's. In my own opinion, I would not expect a transit provider to filter anything other than my BGP announcements. However, I would expect my ISP to filter a possible worm infection port(s), as it would completely saturate my lowly-end-user datapipe if they did not, making network access worthless, even if my host was secure. Ofcourse, I would also, not expect to pay a higher fee for this filtering. Additionally, I am curious why any time a technical issue comes up on NANOG (or any other operator list), people resort to terrible analogies that have little to do with the actual content of the discussion? --- Andy
