I firmly believe in this recourse, amongst others...
If you know that your provider allows spoofed traffic, let the community
know about it.
In all aspects of life, a problem must be 'fixed' at the source. All of
the small-medium size ops have to connect to the big-boys somewhere, and
what I've seen in this industry is that the big-boys are generally
compliant.
