OK, so the remote system on the other side of town can be pinpointed
via GPS to a few cm. So how do you protect against somebody forging
this info ? And don't expect to use timing of received packets. Real
life example I ran into several months ago, before my employer switched
providers. I ran traceroutes trying to figure out why I was having
problems logging into work from home. The traceroutes were hilarious.
- half a dozen steps from my former ADSL provider in Toronto to UUNET
in Chicago
- half a dozen steps from Chicago to my employer's firewall in
Toronto, approximately 4 miles from my condo
- 200+ millisecond trip times; ouch
