I am looking into uRPF now - is it true for all platforms that, with
uRPF enabled, packets must be received on the best path only? Is there
any list of platforms that can handle multipath? Can some hande
unequal-cost-MP?
Notes like this are a little confusing for me:
The behavior of strict RPF varies slightly by platform, number of
recursion levels, and number of paths in Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
scenarios. A platform may switch to loose RPF check for some or all
prefixes, even though strict RPF is configured.
Best regards

it depends on your upstream configuration. If they have strict urpf
enabled, then asymmetric routing will be a problem. If they don't, then it
should be fine. Your router is not a firewall, so it doesn't care about
receiving packets on the "wrong" interface unless you tell it to via urpf /
acls.
