Actually, Randy is right.  We were discussing in context of routers and
botnets themselves.  "Host" in my context was about the botnets sending
attack from legitimate IP sources that BCP38 will not be able to defeat.

No, you have demonstrated that the only jerk in this entire forum is no one
but you with limited bounds of intelligence.

Before you go on and call someone a "jerk", "idiot" and falsely accuse him
of ~not wanting to deploy BCP38[1]~, read your own posts and start making
positive assertions about things that you know yourself.


[1]: Almost every network that I help manage is operated with BCP38 either
with uRPF or even with automatic-scripted SAV (source address
verification/filtering)/ ACL's.
