"host" in that context was his router, which makes your comment make
less sense. (having never seen a big iron router become a client in a
botnet, myself) He was talking about big iron control plane policy

I just had a deep discussion with Verio about this very problem in
their network last week. Verio claims no timetable for consistent
BCP38 deployment.
You want to stop being rude, and start making positive assertations

of experience on this topic. If you know better, educate the rest of
us.
