I have a question: if by using the spoofer (or other type of PEPs that
basically violate the e-t-e semantics) the performance is improved under
certain conditions (e.g., increased link utilization etc. in the case of
satellite), then should it be left to the application/user to decide
whether they would rather use the spoofer and be exposed to higher failure
probability, or just play safe and bypass the spoofer (assume that the use
of a spoofer is not mandatory)? or is it that the e-t-e semantics should
always supersede performance gain?
