Therein lies the problem if the traffic does not look anomalous I suppose. But even if it does look unusual, ISPs would 
be asking consumers to trash/update/turn off a lot of devices in time – like when every home has 10s or 100s of these 
devices. 
ISP: Dear customer, looks like one of your light switches is sending spam.
Customer: Which one? I have 25 light switches. And 25 smart bulbs. And 3 smart TVs, and 3 smart thermostats, and 6 
cameras, and…
