I would have liked to know a bit more about how these schemes
behave if some of the servers or say a ToR device in the DC are
considered as attackers e.g. having been compromised, but you
only mention attacks from outside the DC. I assume the answer is
to not accept servers as BGP speakers, but I'm not sure how you
do that reliably. And I also don't know whether or not ToR
devices are successfully attacked often.
