i think kc said it all well enough

i'd be satisfied if bcp38 were widely enough deployed so that experiments based on ip spoofing wouldn't be scientifically valid due to sample size and population size issues. i know there's no way to force or enforce, nor any way to prove, universal bcp38 compliance, and so i know that all apps, protocols, firewalls, and ops staff will have to live with ip spoofing as a real possibility forever. in spite of that i would like ip spoofing to become an unreliable service. -- Paul Vixie
