On the topic of unacceptable stuff.

A number of backbones are STILL transporting rfc1918-sourced packets.
This is getting really old, really fast.

The last attack we saw included 127.0.0.0/24 sourced packets along
with rfc1918 sourced and other garbage (255.255.255.255 for example).

The first mistake is accepting this crap from customers. The second
mistake is tranporting this crap to the other side of the globe.

Get with the program, people.
