Sorry I see where you're coming from on this but firewalls are more than just patches to broken OS's. In your world DoS traffic would be free to roam the networks as it pleased without being throttled sensibly at ingress?
Providing one makes people responsible for what their boxes (not aggregates of networks) cause, and enforces this, there will be no DoS traffic; given a perfect world. Even in an imperfect world, the solution lies in the edge, not even the CPE, but the end node, if you want to do more than pathetic bandaiding of the inherent problem of insecure applications on end nodes. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE My face is new, my license is expired, and I'm under a doctor's care!!!!
