It'd be nice if this information came from one of the entities named above. Here's a refinement for our part. GTE does not impose mandatory source address filtering via access-lists on customers' CPE routers. However, we have recently implemented Cisco's "ip verify unicast reverse-path".

I think perhaps we have an acronym collision here. I read Scott's comment to mean "Customer Premises Equipment", since that was the only parsing that didn't introduce a conflict. However, I read Tony's reply as "Customer Provided Equipment", since that's my usual parsing of that acronym. In this case, it makes quite a difference. Clarification? Better: why not, Tony?
