I read that discussion (and several others going back about two or three years) 
before I posted this. 

As an occasional OP on here, I've noticed I get a lot of off-list responses so 
I obviously wouldn't have seen any of those from other people's threads. 

I didn't take that observation away from that thread, but maybe I'm dense. ;-) 
I know it was suggested that they wanted to bill for that sued capacity, but 
that was debunked. I know DDoS services were mentioned, but I didn't see a 
clear line drawn to that's why it isn't happening... nor confirmed. 

Also, what's big? Listed on the Baker's Dozen? Wide-spread POPs on six 
continents? Showing up on 50 IXPs? 1k IPv4 adjacencies? 

A medium sized network that does FlowSpec could be vastly more useful to you 
than a large network that doesn't.

There was just a recent discussion about this. 
None of the big upstreams support it because they are all too busy selling 
their own DDoS mitigation services :)

I know support (from customers) is limited among networks. I know it isn't on 
all hardware, but does appear to be on at least a couple platforms from the 
major router vendors. It is supported on an increasing number of DDoS 
appliances and software packages. 

What all networks support receiving BGP FlowSpec information from customers and 
acting upon it?
