um... no it's not. It means filtering IP packets that have source addresses that aren't part of the net / subnet from which the packets originate. This makes spoofing packets harder, especially for the less skilled and often most sociopathic.
Applying these filters thoughtfully will help stop DDoS attacks and make other attacks easier to trace. We do want to hold crackers and script kiddies accountable for their actions, no?
"Coax" all carriers and providers to do egress filtering at the edges of their networks. This should help significantly in reducing DDoS attacks and should help make malicious network activity easier to trace.
