    Antispoofing is 'static' and therefore brittle in nature, people
    change jobs, etc. - so, we shouldn't do antispoofing, either?

    Enterprises typically don't do this stuff. They should, and we work
    to educate them, but it's even more difficult in that space than in
    the SP space.

    A question I have is whether or not this class of problems is more of
    a 'need the vendors to come up with better/easier functionality' type
    of problem, a 'need the SPs to do a better job with this' kind of
    problem, or is it more in the realm of a 'TCP/IP in its current
    incarnation(s) lends itself these kinds of issues' type of problem?
