i suggest you go back to the mail to which you responded obscenely
vilifying the poster who was specifically saying he worried about his
host before bcp38.  that was specifically the subject.

"host" in that context was his router, which makes your comment make less sense. (having never seen a big iron router become a client in a botnet, myself) He was talking about big iron control plane policy controls. You must have missed the context.

Given that I know of no provider larger than us using BCP38 on every
port

well, that sets an upper bound on the extent of your knowledge, eh. and
not a very high one.


I just had a deep discussion with Verio about this very problem in their network last week. Verio claims no timetable for consistent BCP38 deployment.

You want to stop being rude, and start making positive assertations about things you know? I'd love to be wrong, but I've got a whole lot of experience on this topic. If you know better, educate the rest of us.
