If I receive some traffic at an IXpeering router interface, I might want
to know how I got it.
If it is a stream of bad traffic I might want to ask my upstream peer to
help turn it off.
How do I find out who did send it to me?
If I capture a sample packet I could see the source MAC address. Now I
have to identify who owns the device with that MAC.
Is there any guidance from the IX operators on how to do this?
I'm sure phone calls / emails to Ops teams are not cost effective for
anyone.
A common programmatic method across IXes would suit my use-case
admirably.
I'd like to hear from anybody who either has a method in an IX, or who
would like a method to exist.
