{Packet}s that turn up unexpectedly on the wrong {network}

because of bogus {routing} entries. Also a packet which has

an altogether bogus (non-registered or ill-formed) {internet

address}, such as the test loopback interface [127.0.0.1].

Such a packet will come back labelled with a source address

that is clearly not of this earth. "The domain server is

getting lots of packets from Mars. Does that gateway have a

martian filter?"
