A CPE NTP reflection attack this month has raised the profile, once again, of the 14 year old and still mostly unimplemented BCP38, which would likely have helped mitigate that attack, and certainly would mitigate others. If you want to know more about BCP38 and how to implement it in your networks -- or if you know *lots* about BCP38, and want to contribute to educating others about how to implement it in theirs -- we invite you to come visit http://www.bcp38.info This has been a recorded public service announcement.
