geoff huston is the only person i know who's making formal progress on that
question. i know from some zebra log files that iana's unallocated space gets
advertised from time to time, then withdrawn. presumably an attack was launched
during the announcement but i don't have any data showing this.

apparently, nothing. to the extent that peering is by agreement, the majority
of such agreements now in force do not require the other party to route-filter
their customers. which is funny, since they tend to drone on endlessly about
the importance of a 24x7 NOC, which in operational practice, matters lots less.
(btw, anybody signed a peering agreement which requires an abuse@ mailbox yet?)
