Not a 100% solution but would help greatly if ISPs:

1) performed egress filtering to prevent spoofing arbitrary source addresses

2) temporarily shut off customers that are sending a large volume of malicious traffic

How would an ISP determine egress is malicious? Genuinely curious.

Largely they do these things, it’s just not completely automatic.
