What does this have to do with anything? Do you think submarine cables put a FBR on
each end and do Layer 3 packet checking?
Yes, there are few cables (talk to me about a new one), but each is split up at layer
1 and 2 across tens/hundreds/thousands of ISPs, governments and corporates - a
submarine cable operator won't be doing source IP verification on a customer's
wavelength stream of photons.
