Well, I do mention it, right there on the home page:

"""
BCP38 filtering to block these packets is most easily handled right at the very edge of the Internet: where customer 
links terminate in the first piece of provider 'aggregation' gear, like a router, DSLAM, or CMTS. Much to most of this 
gear already has a 'knob' which can be turned on, which simply drops these packets on the floor as they come in from 
the customer's PC. 
"""

I simply didn't *name* the knob, cause the detail seemed out-of-scope for 
that context.  Where it would get named would be on the "information for 
Audience" pages relevant to access providers, which I have not written 
because -- not being a provider -- I have insufficient background to be
accurate.

We welcome contributions from people in those positions... you, perhaps?

Be bold!  :-)

Cheers,
