Well, I'm not the IX operator, I'm just a participant - and it's tremendously
helpful to know for sure *who* is sending you that extra 10G traffic that
is filling your link with spoofed-source traffic -> read: some sort of MAC
referencing (MAC acct or netflow-with-MAC) is needed.

People have suggested using passive fiber TAPs and offload MAC acct to
a PC, but that's totally non-scalable when you go to multi-10G connections...

(Other vendors do not particularily excel in this space either)
