Curious as you speak of "very little action", yet the Wikipedia article you linked says:

> […] contrary to general opinion about the lack of BCP 38 deployment, some 80% of the Internet (by various measures) were already applying anti-spoofing packet filtering

I know very little about global routing, so I'm wondering if it's an ineffective way of filtering against these attacks we see today or is 80% not enough to be effective?
