Anyone can set up S/RTBH on their transit-/peering-edge routers, even if 
they aren't using BGP for routing.

Likewise flowspec, on routers which support it.

If attack volume is high, it still may flood the link, but keeping the 
traffic off one's own core and off the actual target(s) of the attack 
are still very worthwhile.
