Barry,
Thanks - I've RTFM'd. I'm neither trying to present a convoluted
excuse nor say that BCP 38 isn't highly useful. Rather, our
project attempts to measure the penetration of such techniques.
I mainly take objection to the statements that spoofing is not
useful to any parties viz-a-viz the DNS amplifier attacks and
UCE filter circumvention. Perhaps you have detailed statistics
on the distribution of edge devices and their support of various
modes of uRPF? This is the kind of data that would also be
interesting in understanding adoption issues.
Regards,
rob
