Not everything can do acls at scale. Not all customers have anything reflecting 
symmetric routing creating a problem in the capabilities in the equipment 
working as desired. 

Many customers honestly don't know how their things work or think they work in 
ways that are not fully accurate. You get lots of default pointing even when 
they run BGP. Lots of people update prefix lists as a last resort vs 
proactively. Nobody removes things, making it hard. Automation of systems is 
also hard. Not impossible, but hard. I'm hoping some of the SDN marketing 
becomes reality when it comes to managing these configs. 

Maybe I will be able to have urpf work with my rpki and sdn.
