I'm not sure it should just be 3! ISPs should be held responsible (and able to) selectively block DDoS traffic originating from their customers. Especially with the proliferation of symmetric gigabit+ connections...
- AnthonyMouse 4y agoLast mile ISPs are the wrong place to do anything like that. The middle of the network is no place for traffic mangling because it already requires state of the art equipment to transfer that much data whatsoever, much less do packet inspection on it to try to guess what's a DDoS and what's just a lot of real traffic, and then get it wrong and block legitimate flows or new applications. What's needed is a way for recipient endpoints to tell upstream networks that they (temporarily) don't want traffic from particular sources. But that requires a new network protocol, not some arbitrary policy judgement on the part of random ISPs.
