Is that the best method for combating DoS and botnets though? Creating

Is their an algorithm of "normal" net activity you can apply to
different IP blocks based on who resells them? Do consumer blocks act
with a general measure of a certain type of activity?

It seems like a promising method IMO

Sounds familiar to me. I guess you'd have to start logging all
activity on those networks and then mine that data for usage trends
and whatnot.

Once again US government/military needs pave the way for technological advances.
