	I've been wondering for years, what is so complicated about not letting
spoofed packets out of CPE routers? Even at an aggregation level my
experience is that it creates no issues at all, and it does eliminate a
source of potential (but all too often very real) trouble. Plus, it's
not anything even remotely complicated to deploy; in Cisco-land, it's
one sentence per interface - easily added to a template (such as Team
Cymru's excellent reference secure templates, which do have it).

	Perhaps this one is for -discuss.
