[atlas] "Spoofing" tests.

I think that would be one way to alleviate the concerns, yes. Also note
that we are talking about special category of users who have somewhat
more control over their network - not a typical BB user sitting behind a
NAT.

Another important question IMO is how these data is going to be used.
Several people I talked to were supporting of the idea of instigating an
"anti-spoofing" movement among the ISPs, where in order to get (and
stay) on a public list of networks who care one needs to pass
anti-spoofing tests. Atlas and Spoofer would be instrumental in this effort.

This would create a subset of probes that could be used for more interesting tests, an d would allow for greater visibility into things.
