I've got to go with Pete K. on this one. In our current, cidr-ized world, it is simply not possible for an upstream provider to determine what is, or is not, a broadcast address in a downstream network. This is something that

to be implemented from the edge in, not from the core out.
I agree that it is difficult if not impossible to implement at the core. One would think that having an extra 30 - 155Mb of traffic on their network that they're paying to transit to the world would motivate them to take a look at the edge/customer router(s) that are allowing the broadcast however. I would certainly let one of our customers know that it is in their best interest to either implement the filters/access lists or give us a map of their subnetting and let us do it for them. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your *FREE* Parked Domain account at http://www.EZ-Hosting.Com - ------------------------------------------------------------------ John Fraizer | __ _ | The System Administrator | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice mailto:John.Fraizer () EnterZone Net | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU http://www.EnterZone.Net/ | /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation PGP Key fingerprint = 7DB6 1CA2 DAA6 43DA 3AAF 44CD 258C 3D7E B425 81A8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.0 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBNmSl7iWMPX60JYGoEQJPeQCeOD2jPRM4kKME5a+5lerf155Kxn0AoMGb PYYXUcGTQ/tlxwf3uGdVsLnz =v1Yj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
