While I don't think any ISP "wants DDoS" to make $$, I do based on
experience believe that business cases have to be made for everything.
With the prices pay for BW in most of the world now, ( or the last number
of years) its going to be VERY hard to get anyone to allocated time/$$ or
energy to do anything they don't need to, to get the bit to you.

Yes Harlan, you are absolutely right, even if this won't stop the
botnet-based DDoS attacks, but at least will significantly decrease the
volume/frequency of the volume based attacks.

On the other side, the DDoS protection now become a business where
all-tiers ISPs make money of, and those ISPs is the exact place where the
implementation of anti-spoofing make the best sense, conflict of interests
now...

However, the trusted network initiative might be a good approach to start
influencing operators to apply anti-spoofing mechanisms.

Just to ask, what is the expected effect on DDoS attacks if folks
implemented BCP38?

How does the cost of implementing BCP38 compare to the cost of other
solution attempts?
