Ok, so I'll respond to one more of the messages I missed yesterday.

RPF works fine on 7200, 7500, and 6500, from my experience. I've not used 12000's for customer aggregation since they historically haven't been designed for or adequate in that respect.
The above was actually me, not Sean, iirc.
Alot of large providers have 'all 12000' or 'alot of 12000' devices, so this is a hint at the problem :( Most large, where large == continental, providers don't have very many 7200/6500 gear in their network.
Someone else just mentioned running RPF on 12000 without issue, except for SRP rings. I can't confirm that myself, as we avoided using 12000 for customer aggregation due to their poor performance in that arena. RPF on ubr7200, 7200vxr, 7500, and 6500 all seem to work fine.
Keep in mind that sometimes what platform you choose 12 months ago you may get stuck with in a longer term than originally anticipated. That platform may have been chosen because it was the only viable platform at the initial buy time :(
Definately understandable.
As such, I can understand providers not being able to apply RPFimmediatelyon 12000's, at least unless they are acquiring E3 cards for new installs.
Wow, by E3 I assume you mean: Engine 3... This is a VERY BAD PLAN, if my experience with them is anything to judge from. Both E2 and E3 cards have some serious limitations when it comes to access lists and uRPF. For instance, I've been in config mode where: int blah1/0.123 ip access<tab> yields nothing... in other words, 'ip access-group 123 out' is not even in the valid config for these cards :( even more depressing is the hope that it'll work and the unfortunate reality that it'll apply to the interface and never access list any traffic at all :(
Yes, I meant Engine 3, which are the ISE cards. I don't yet have any, but I'ld be surprised if they don't support acls on subints. Perhaps you meant E1 and E2? Even if they don't support acls, I'ld be surprised if they didn't support RPF. <snip>
From what I've heard, I haven't yet tested these, the E4+ cards aresupposed to answer alot of the existing acl issues. One thing to keep in mind is that your FIB is limited to ~225k prefixes if you want to use PSA acls (hardware acls)on a 12000... Supposedly, if you remove PSA acl functionality you can punt the acl work to the linecard CPU, in reality the punting never happens and the traffic isn't acl'd :(
Interesting, but shouldn't affect RPF, correct? <snip>
