UDP port 80 DDoS attack

It works in theory, but to get every ISP and hosting provider to ACL their
edges and maintain those ACL's for every customer no matter how large might
be a bit difficult.  Also, what about non-BGP customers or customers that
just accept a default route? Or even customers that just want return
traffic to come in a different link for some reason.  ISP's would suddenly
become giant traffic registries.
