Inbound packets using IP addresses specified in the RFC5735 and RFC6598, along with network address space allocated by IANA, but not assigned by the RIRs for ISP and other end-customer use must be blocked, denied, or dropped at the perimeter device.

Description
This type of IP address spoofing occurs when someone outside the network uses an address that should not be routed or has not been officially assigned to an ISP for use by the RIR to gain access to systems or devices on the internal network. If the intruder is successful, they can intercept data, passwords, etc., and use that information to perform destructive acts on or to the network.
