It is not spam we are talking about, it is bad invalid network packets, =
bad web traffic probing exploits, bad port traffic looking for open =
network ports.
All of this originates in countries not using best practice abuse =
process, no communication with route config errors, no communication =
when ddos seen.
In effect it is a war on bad traffic and country blocks will be in the =
only way to make people take notice of this problem.
