Hi, we are a team of researchers from TU Berlin [1] working on a measurement project to assess the ramifications of traffic with spoofed source IP addresses in the Internet. This is a follow-up project to the work about IP source address spoofing I presented at the last Connect WG in Madrid. But we also thought it might convern or interest the members of the Routing WG. To better understand the operational challenges that you as network operators face when deploying (or not deploying) source IP address filtering techniques, we'd like to invite you to participate in our survey. If you could spare 5 minutes of your time, we'd be delighted if you could fill out our survey form and tell us about your current practices regarding network filtering. To participate, please visit: [2] http://filteringsurvey.inet.tu-berlin.de/ If you have any concerns or questions, you can reply on-list or contact us via [3] filtering-survey@inet.tu-berlin.de. We will only publish anonymized results of this study and once we've analyzed your feedback we'll publish a digest of the results on-list if you're interested. As you are probably subscribed to more network operator and WG lists you might encounter this mail multiple times. We apologize for cross-posting, but in order to get results that will give us meaningful insights we need the broadest coverage we can get. Thank you very much for your support!
