What are the main advantages of using the IP Spoofing options in OLT?

IHodgettsJan 16 2012 — edited Jan 24 2012
We are currently re-thinking our deployment of OATS (currently only 2 agent machines) and I was wondering about the benefits of using IP spoofing. Has anyone got any experience of using this feature (examples of when it's required)?

What sort of scenarios does tests coming from multiple IP addresses assist with (I can think of issues with load-balancing depending on how this is configured)?

I'm aware of the issue with ephemeral port exhaustion (mentioned in the OATS release notes) but would IP spoofing help?
