So, to the reason for the comment request, you are telling me not to
blackhole 100.64/10 in the edge router downstream from an ISP as a
general rule, and to accept source addresses from this netblock. Do I
understand you correctly?
FWIW, I think I've received this recommendation before. The current
version of my NetworkManager dispatcher-d-bcp38.sh script has the
creation of the blackhole route already disabled; i.e., the netblock is
not quarantined.
