GTE has implemented this model and strongly encourages all other ISPs to follow suit, since its benefit is directly proportional to the number of ISPs who participate. Networking equipment can be configured to prevent these attacks. With joint ISP, vendor, and customer support these DoS attacks can be stopped before they start. MCI strongly supports IOPS and the work they have accomplished in this area. In addition, IOPS has developed written operating procedures to facilitate its future activities.
Membership is open to other qualified organizations.
We congratulate IOPS on its accomplishments during its first year of operations and we look forward to playing an active role in its future achievements. To the maximum extent possible, IOPS makes its results publicly available, and as appropriate, it works with other Internet organizations.
