What is bad about filtering facing non-customers, if loose rpf is
used? I'm assuming this is what you mean by "border crossings" rather than
the literal.
--------->makes sense on the edge/aggregation but if you do it further up in
the network.....there maybe some cases where we have assymetric routing,
where the path of uplink is never the path the same as the downlink, and
infact the source network of the packet may never be present in the routing
table....(it is possible, after all its a packet switched network and the
routing is destination IP based) ...
