Ah, but how would you know what IPs your inbound call should be trusted from 
for your SBCs? It's hard enough to get people properly interopped when the 
calling activity is planned, let alone have random endpoints hit your network. 
Are they going to use E.164? Should they send npdi/rn data? Should you trust 
the calling party information being sent? How do you know the original caller 
is even a legitimate telco and not some telemarketer going on a rampage 
connecting directly with everything? If you are getting problematic (abusive, 
illegal) inbound calls, how do you look up that IP to know who to complain 
about? Is WHOIS enough?
