Re: address spoofing

on a router that's not doing filtering, it's going to be a small hit.
i'm going to infer, however, that any router that's not doing
filtering is probably not doing much traffic.  and any router that is
doing a lot of traffic, is already doing filtering.  so it's less of a
hit.

huh?  for packet filtering, which is what we've been discussing, my
experience is quite the opposite.  one can't really afford packet
filters on routers with oc12s.  and in a multi-path universe, filtering
for source address spoofing is best done at the edges anyway.
