Hi all,

I'm not sure about what you want to do, but check cisco.com
functionnalities for ISP routers. This kind of ACLs seems not to be a
default config !

If you have NAT, for sure equipment in charge of MAP addresses and
ports replace your private address by the public interface address,
even if it's not classified as an RFC1918  and others specific
addresses.

But if you can spoof L3 with success whil using RFC1918 with ISP
routers, I want to see it ! Most of them have for sure one Cisco in
their network, and just for the example, they normally advised about
ACL for RFC1918 and RFC3330
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801a1a55.shtml
Check about BGP and routing process, I'm not really close to BGP
routing, but it will be probably dropped by some security equipements
or ACLs?

So can someone explain ip spoofing in the sense that a packet may be
spoofed to make it appear as if it originated from the internal lan
yet it did not. I need an explanation of how it works and how the
packet is structured.

The packet wont get to the internet. The moment your ISP sees it, it will
be
dropped.

I understand that IP packets can be spoofed ie change the source
address to make it look like they originated from the internal LAN.
However, when this is done across the internet, with a private IP
address in its source field, how does this packet get routed through
the internet?

Kind Regards
