peering requirements (Re: DDOS anecdotes)

But please don't forget that in this particular DDoS event
there was no IP spoofing.

So anti-spoofing precautions, either on administrative or technical
level, would be useless in this case.

And this case is not so untypical.

Following up on my own post:

Several folks here talked about technical implementation aspects (RPF, etc)
and a few told me privately that peering was a sales/marketing activity at
this stage of the game.

This either means that upgrading the general level of peering agreement is
not possible, or that the people I should be discussing it with don't read
NANOG.

This echos what I learnt at Stephen's BOF in Phoenix.
