Hm, so the IX operator looks at packets at the IX (sFlow perhaps), see who 
is sending attack packets, and if they're spoofed, this ISP is then put in 
"quarantine", ie their IX port is basically now useless.

That's an effective way of achieving local compliance. Wonder how this 
would work in other markets, commonly it's bad business to deny service to 
paying customers... But if most agree that this should be done, it's 
definitely a way to achieve compliance.
