- uulbiy 12y agoIP spoofing can be prevented by ISPs[1] but I don't thing there is an incentive for them to do it. That could not stop the NSA anyway.

- SCHiM 12y agoAlso some (many?) ISPs have asymmetric routing, preventing an easy implementation of anti-spoofing mechanisms.
- zurn 12y ago"Great Firewall of Belgium only allows ingress traffic from non-Belgian source addresses" wouldn't prevent IP spoofing inside or outside Belgium. Nor would doing it the other way around. If such national firewalls existed in all countries and forced all IP traffic to flow through them, it might help some.
