I keep getting calls from the media on this, so I guess probably you do too. Anyway, we've some recent work that might be deployable for DoS defence. This stuff isnt too fancy; the incentives seem at least plausible, and it should be doable without changes to the backbone or the end-hosts. One version has a lot in common with LISP, but the other version doesn't rely on encapsulation. Anyway, here's a link to the version that doesn't use encapsulation: http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/tmp/terminus.pdf If you're interested, I can send you the other too. So my question is whether it might be right to raise this as a BoF? I'm not actually pushing hard on this - just asking what you think.
