What does BCP38 have to do with this? All that does is block one
specific type of attack (and cause a lot of collateral damage). The IoT
devices do not need to spoof addresses - they can just generate attack
traffic directly. This is even better, because you can't cut those
eyeball addresses off - those are the same addresses your target
audience is using. If you cut off the eyeball networks there's not much
point to running an internet business website anymore.
