True.

Definitly.
BTW, Axis cameras (especially older ones) are a lot of fun to play with
from an attacker point of vue. And I could see this kind of behaviour
with some embedded devices that do not implement a real IP stack. They
just grab frames and just the bits they need in payload. And they often
consider destination IP not to be checked. As far as they've received
the frame, it should have the correct destination ;)
Playing IP options with them can be fun too.
