I work for a medium sized ISP, we have about 500 peers over exchanges like LONAP and Linx. You'd be surprised how many of our peers won't use MD5 passwords or even filter properly.
- riffic 9y agoName and shame?
- a012 9y agoProbably he's still working at there, so he'd be forbidden to disclose customers name.
- dredmorbius 9y agoBGP peerings are publically published, that's how they work. Knowing which customers fail to secure their comms is another matter.

- maltalex 9y agoBad idea. These are customers he's talking about. If you want to stay in business, naming and shaming your customers isn't a good strategy.
- iDemonix 9y agoSorry, no, I don’t really see how that contributes to the discussion.
- pas 9y agoThey propagate a few prefixes toward you, right? So you have to filter what you accept from them, no? What mechanisms do you have for this? If it's a lookup, why it's not feasible for higher Tier ISPs?
