    If someone does that much spoofing, constantly, then the target is going to
    get bombarded anyways. Plus this wouldn't be totally automated, attempts to
    contact the "hostile" party would be made, etc. No system is perfect, but
    that doesn't mean it can't be used. This type of activity already occurs, a
    new network block was opened up (67 or 69? I can't remember) and many
    systems are firewalling it (used to be a reserved, unused class A), or
    companies that get assigned network blocks formerly used in asia. This type
    of thing happens all the time.
