 ha.  I only wish that was true.

 We do filter all customer ports for IPs we believe from them, but darn
 few other providers do.  (as based on my conversations with many
 providers when tracking down attacks from their networks)

 That said, we filter nothing else.

 ...?  So you have no real, production sites?

actually... depending upon platform the frags probably get through (on
a cisco) if they are associated with another ongoing session... Cisco
acls believe that frags are 'ok' (even if you deny fragments in the
acl) unless the frag can't be put together with an existing session.
Juniper just drops all frags...
