But what's interesting is Paul Vixie is speaking about a very
narrow requirement, but when it gets translated into government
regulation talk, its very different than where we started.

"Meanwhile, U.S. government security officials are discussing the
possibility of creating new regulations that would require federal
agencies to buy Internet service only from ISPs that have DDoS protection
on their networks, according to people familiar with the situation. Such
a decision could place economic pressure on the other ISPs to follow suit,
thereby improving Internet security."

just how would an isp stamp themselves with the "DDoS protected" rubber
stamp?

I'm just curious as to what the next sales person is going to request as a
product/service they're going to want to charge customers for.

best practices like filtering != DDoS protection imho
