As little as 12 months ago, many vendors either had no or a delayed 
roadmap to support uRPF due to lack of support on usually Broadcom 
chips, or just a lack of interest in developing code if the Broadcom 
chip they had supported it.

This was typically the case for new vendors entering the game, or 
existing ones who were starting to build a merchant chip product line.

I had this issue with Nokia's new IXR line last year. I think they may 
have implemented it on some of their boxes, but not sure yet.
