Not really. Ingress filtering only ever protected you from being the
source of spooding attacks, not the destination. The point of Zhiyun's
results is that it doesn't fully protect you from being the source
either.

Frankly, Zhiyun offers the first truly rational case I've personally
seen for packet filtering based on the TCP source port. You should
give his work more careful scrutiny.
