       | trust the packets don't care the address is actually publicly
       | reachable).

       | the public internet I recommend reading a lot more than the
       | manual on quagga or BIRD, particularly some resources like
       | "Protecting the Integrity of Internet Routing: Border Gateway
       | Protocol (BGP) Route Origin Validation". It's a bit like an email
       | server, easy to set up but hard to set up properly.
