Re: GTSM - Do you use it?

I don't think that's a fair assumption. A few providers I talked to for a security current practiced document I am writing said they were deploying it between BGP peers and I recently asked for more clarification from some individuals to ensure I had correct info with respect to vendors. There is some support in some J boxes and also support in C boxes. I didn't get specific detail how it was deployed, just that is was.

Then is it fair to assume that operators are not using it?

I would like to know if operators use GTSM techniques with BGP and
other routing protocols today? Is any at the perimeter of the
routing domain deployed? I would believe that GTSM can provide
protection against attacks more than a hop away and thus can save
against a lot of potential Dos attacks.

Is anything done by the operators here? 

We'd love to use it but unfortunately the J vendor doesn't support it
very well even on T-series (if it supports it at all, not quite
sure..).

Enhancement Requests haven't gotten through, but maybe gripes on nanog
will :-(
