That definition, if you really mean it, would make nearly every packet on the Internet spoofed. Sooner or later, pretty much every packet winds up coming into a router with a source not assigned to the customer on the other end of that link.
think edge man, EDGE!
I prefer a much more useful definition of "spoofed". A packet is said to be spoofed if it is introduced onto the Internet and originated on a machine whose administration has not been assigned that IP address for use on the Internet.
And that's different from my definition, how? You say "machine", I say "link". Which part of that picture does the average ISP have control over?
I'd love to hear your explanation of why a unidirectional VPN is a configuration error.
Your VPN is tunnelled and encrypted, no? (BTW, "unidirectional VPN" is an oxymoron -- a net does not go one way) -- Greg A. Woods +1 416 218-0098 VE3TCP <gwoods@acm.org> <robohack!woods> Planix, Inc. <woods@planix.com>; Secrets of the Weird <woods@weird.com>
