I also imagine (without data) that most DoS attacks continue to be performed by botnets, using other people's connections, rather than directly by their ultimate perpetrators. So, the most effective and meaningful mitigation would be trying to clean up bots, and prevent ongoing bot infections, rather than cutting off suspected or actual perpetrators. I realize that's much easier said than done!
It is, and it isn't. There was a time when we mostly all had staffed abuse desks and took action on complaints. Some of us still do. If we took the security of the Internet seriously, we could at least make a reasonable effort to develop ways to cope with the growing problems that are only exacerbated by stuff like the explosive growth of IoT, and the resulting IoT malware. But this has to include service providers giving a damn about what they let their customers spew out onto the network, and it's been many years since it became clear that profit margin won out over being a decent netizen. ...
