Agreed.

Our's listed for AS36295 are two customers, Which I know for a fact have their default route set out of a GRE tunnel interface. So while we hand them the request to their interface IP we've assigned them. The response is actually sent, And transported via the customers GRE Tunnel, And HQ's Dedicated internet access where their tunneling to. Making it appear that the reply has been spoofed. When in reality. it was just silent transported to another area before being sent to the src.

Jared,

What you detected is a misconfiguration of devices on those networks,
but that misconfiguration (in and of itself) is not necessarily what is
commonly referred to as "IP spoofing" in the context of BCP38.

You have *not* "shown" that these ASNs "allow IP spoofing".  You have
collected one data point that indicates the mere possibility that these
ASNs allow IP spoofing.

In the example that you provided, you sent a DNS query to a Pacenet
(India) IP and received a response from a Vodafone (India) IP address.
The IP from which you received the invalid response is an open resolver
(bad thing).  It is completely plausible that whatever device is being
queried has interfaces on both networks.

To have "shown" that this ASN "allows IP spoofing" you must have
demonstrated that this response packet, sourced from a Vodafone IP,
entered the "Internet" from a Pacenet router interface.  Unless I am
missing something here, you haven't come close to showing that.
