there are things putting random packets over the network today, trying to
exploit services you might be using, or your customers might be using.
IPSEC everywhere is 'nice' but not horribly practical. SSL is nice, until
your SSL libraries have remotely exploitable DoS or root
vulnerabilities... how many times over the last 12 months has openssl been
upgraded due to 'security' issues?
