Wow. Full distorted vision of reality mode here…

uRPF doesn’t “break” anything. I stand by that. It’s not a religious position. It’s an operational experience. One that 
I have multitudes of real world examples of it working to SOLVE issues.

You seem to be willfully ignorant about how real networks use tools that you dislike to solve problems. This is way 
more of a problem with you disliking uRPF than me telling you that I like it for some applications.

Now I remember why I usually never post on this list now. I will just dismiss your opinions going forward instead of 
trying to point out that you aren’t the only measure of a network.

Thanks Bill.

Someone stood up and said, "Nope, nothing I did could possibly have
broken anything." I'm pretty sure that someone was you but feel free
to call me on it if I'm mistaken.

Look, at the risk of doing further offense, it's like I said: it's one
thing to educate yourself about a topic and then make a judgement call
about what's acceptable. It's quite another to remain willfully
ignorant in service of your preferred view. I just got through
describing specific scenarios where loose urpf fails when you
responded that no, it doesn't break anything. If you'd said, "no, that
breakage is a small price worth paying," I'd have debated the merits
with you or simply let it stand as a contrary opinion. Refusing to
acknowledge the breakage is worth only dismissal.

Regards,
Bill
