Hi,
This feature will help to mitigate DoS atttacks, I vote for :-)
verrevpath & versrcreach are references to Cisco Revers Path =20
Forwarding algorithm and was first time cited in RFC1812.
I would add that, AFAIK, the partial implementation, antispoof, =20
(which is unable to make the distinction between "strict" & "loose" =20
modes) prevents pf to be used on Internet eXchange Points, in an ISP-=20
ISP environment (because of asymmetric routing).
Maybee recent commits in pf related to openbgpd change this ?
