On Oct 25, 2016, Sen Mark Warner (D-VA) wrote to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler to express his concern over the past few months of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. He submitted several questions about DDoS attacks, the security of the nation's networks, and the equipment and devices that attach to the networks to deliver integrated Internet-powered services to citizens and businesses. On Dec 2, 2016, Chairman Wheeler responded by assuring the Open Internet Order affirms ISPs' ability to take measures to protect the network. Chairman Wheeler recalled the efforts the FCC has taken, which has resulted in a rich body of recommendations, including voluntary best practices.
