     We (at least cisco, anyways) already have a knob for this:

       [no] ip verify unicast reverse-path

     We call it Unicast RPF.

And its well documented... NOT
and available on all routers/interfaces... NOT

If it was documented and available on things like PRIs then it would
be a lot easier to deploy. Also some of the bugs that turn off CEF
need to be addressed (or at least also cause "ip verify unicast
reverse-path" to be turned off too).
