From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   spoofing
  
      A technique used to reduce network overhead, especially in
      {wide area network}s (WAN).
  
      Some network {protocol}s send frequent packets for management
      purposes.   These can be {routing} updates or {keep-alive}
      messages.   In a {WAN} this can introduce significant overhead,
      due to the typically smaller {bandwidth} of WAN connections.
  
      Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices,
      such as {bridge}s or {router}s, answer for the remote devices.
      This fools (spoofs) the {LAN} device into thinking the remote
      LAN is still connected, even though it's not.   The spoofing
      saves the WAN bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on
      the WAN.
  
      LAN {protocol}s today do not yet accommodate spoofing easily.

      pages 221 - 224].
