A protocol isn’t broken just because it can be abused when spoofed,
it is abused. Even TCP can be abused in that way.
Should we blacklist and remove TCP?

It would help quite a bit against a lot if abuse, and it would be
reasonable to include it on a lowest level of technical level to
actually get to be called an ISP.

So what do the ISP:s want - earn money while doing nothing until the
Internet is unusable? I don’t get it.
There are enough threats against the open Internet as it is, we
don’t need that too.
