  The ingress filtering proposal was also known as the 'good neighbor
policy' if I recall correctly.  I think that this proposal can be
positioned similarly.

  Realistically most large ISPs didn't do a great job of implementing that
proposal (I know UUNET doesn't for example, and we tried to implement this
at ANS but the effort involved made it somewhat infeasible), but least
there was a document that said what operators 'should' be doing.
