I was wondering about this.  Perhaps PIPE could provide a filtered
peering service?*
 
>From an economic point of view, it won't be feasible for any non-trivial
ISP to rely on upstream filtering.  Investing in filtering equipment is
expensive but surely not as expensive as paying 2x as much for transit,
line cards, etc.

I doubt the regulator will allow ISPs to charge extra for the filtered
service, and certainly not the 2-3x required to cover costs.

* obviously not a serious suggestion, and it wouldn't help those who
peer privately or overseas or at WAIX/AUSIX

 From my point of view:

- I'll bet it's not the same price
- We'd still need to invest as it wouldn't GUARANTEE that all the 
peering routes we see are clean
- So we'd need to pay more for transit, get rid of our peering and 
international network
- We'd need to be able to have our legal responsibility back-to-backed 
with the upstream.

So, at least from an economic point of view, it'd still be a poor
result.
