I call that ingress filtering.

I regard spoofing as an incoming connection with a plausible but false
source 
address, typically used on Denial of Service attacks, either to disguise
the 
true source of the attack, and/or to cause an active IDS to block access
to 
networks you really don't want to block.

 

Antony.
