Re: Defeating DoS Attacks Through Accountability

If possible, ARIN, or another "authority" should retain more information 
about the profile of address space, including delegations.  As you noted, 
announcing first and fixing later is like a hit and run, then returning a 
while later to scrape up the fellow off the road.

We just repatriated a portable /24 from a rouge who was using it, supposedly 
telling his upstream that we had "given them permission"......NOT.

I suppose the question is, could a governing body (outside of government), 
ever keep reasonable control over things without the complete obedience of 
providers?
