I've spent many years in the industry... It comes down to this: a) Being proactive costs money. Whether it be in the form of additional engineering/operations time or beefier routers doesn't matter. No management type will *ALLOW* the technical folks to expend resources unless there is either 1) a certifiable return on the investment or 2) a legal requirement that *ALL* service providers do the same exact thing. b) Action by one provider will mostly benefit other providers, this provides negative inducement.... c) Being proactive without some form of legal/legislative backing signifies risk to the management types... Who's going to complain, who's going to sue, etc.... There will *never* be a concerted action by all service providers to filter ingress/egress on abused ports unless there is a legal requirement to do so. Think 'level playing field'... Tim McKee
