Perhaps it has been too long since I looked at the specifications,
but I seem to recall that the RST packet is defined in the TCP
specification and that TCP is not part of the *network* layer. This
makes it rather hard for me to believe that an RST packet can be an
announcement by the *network* of anything whatsoever.

If I find Comcast or anyone else (with deep pockets) forging my
encrypted packets, I will sue them with all of my available resources.
