Peering with abusers...good or bad?

Sat Mar 3 00:22:45 UTC 2018

So I want to buy additional ports at each IX. The slowest speed they offer.
If I am lucky they have a free 100 Mbps. And then I just announce the
prefix I want to blackhole. Doesn't matter that the port overloads. I am
just going to null route the traffic anyway...

Regards

Baldur

Those IX “blackhole” mechanisms are a perverse ineffective method that
exists solely for marketing reasons. If you aren’t blackholing in the
fabric you aren’t blackholing.
