Quinn at cisco says: "Infrastructure ip space")

no more traffic to the peer except BGP from the peer /30. No more ping, no
more traceroute of interface... (downsides perhaps?) and the 'customer'
can still DoS himself :( (or his compromised machine can DoS him)


or forge the source ip on the neighbors /30 or /31 (why aren't you using /31s anyway) and call it done.
