    'Recommendation: upgrade your peering requirements to include language like:

    Each peer agrees to emit only IP packets with accurate
    source addresses, to require their customers to do likewise,
    and to extend this requirement to all other peers by $DATE.

    Where DATE = (now() + '6 months') or some other negotiated value.

    Peering agreements are so thick with political BS, they can't even stop ISP's like UUNet who are the biggest spam friendly ISP's around.

    Basically everyone is trying to use standards for protocols to correct this, engineers trying to correct political problems.
