Ah, but I *did* see it when I worked for a major vendor of telecommunications 
equipment.

I agree with you - I wish anti-spoofing were enabled by default.  I'm not 
defending the status quo, just trying to explain why it isn't enabled by 
default, as well as why it isn't likely to be enabled by default anytime soon, 
absent some significant technical innovation (which I don't see happening due 
to the nature of TCP/IP) or major catastrophe which changes the perceived 
economics of the current situation both for network infrastructure vendors as 
well as for customer organizations.
