Hear, hear!
Leo's remembering the old days (80s - early '90s), when we checked
whois and
called each others' NOCs directly. That stopped working, and we
started getting
front line support, who's whole purpose was to filter. Nowadays, I've
often
been stuck in voice prompt or voice mail hell, unable to get anybody
on the
phone, and cannot get any response from email, either. Ever. The big
ILECs
are the worst.
What we need is an "abuse" for ARIN, telling them the contacts don't work
properly, which ARIN could verify, revoke the allocation, and send
notice to
the upstream telling them to withdraw the route immediately.
Force them to go through the entire allocation process from the
beginning,
and always assign a new block. That might make them take notice.... And
shrink the routing table! Win, win!
Since we'd only send notification to ARIN about an actual problem, we'd
only drop the real troublemakers. To help enforce that, ARIN would also
verify the reporter's contacts. :-)
Distributing abusive IP addresses within IPv6 is not likely sustainable,
nor would authenticating network reporters and actors. Filtering routes
could be more manageable, and would leave dealing with compromised
systems within popular networks. Calling for abuse management by ISPs
might be an effective approach when structured not to conflict with
maximizing profits. A Carbon Tax for abuse imposed by a governing
organization to support an Internet remediation fund? :^)
