Having done my fair share of hand waving and whiteboarding about AG vs. SPF, I'm curious about something else. Generic Proxy security vs. SPF session security. Given a specific traffic session, ignoring the whole packet-level attack catagory: If the GXD simply reassembles segments to TCP windows and passes them on to the target, only using sequence numbers to keep track of the TCP session, would a SPF provide better validation of a session than a generic proxy? The security stack would be: AG SPF GXD Packet Filter Bill Stout
