It reports.  It does not send anything to the offending source!  Give
it a chance before we go spreading more "attacks" across the internet.

Right- my problem here is the reaction time frame- Let's say we've
got all of our neutralizing bots deployed world-wide; when SlapperII
hits, we've got to get all the IR and code guys on it pronto so they
can present vector and neutralization options.  We've got to get the
standards body to make an informed decision on if/how to apply
neutralization measures, and then deploy the updates to the field
units.  Case-by-case ISP analysis won't cut it.  They'll be flooded
before they can get a single phone call off...

But, that is still something to consider.
