Well, when you're cranking gigabits sometimes those little checks can
become a bottleneck.
Besides, safe routing begins at home. If end-users (or endpoints) would
do ingress/egress filtering, there wouldn't be a problem. I'm not so
certain we should place the blame on the core backbone for passing the
packets it is sent without alteration.
