While you're at it, you also placed the reachable-via rx on
all your customer interfaces. If you're paranoid, start with the 'any'
rpf and then move to the strict rpf. The strict rpf also helps with
routing loops.
Be careful not to enable strict rpf on multihomed customers. This includes
any bgp customer unless you know for sure they are single homed to you and
that will not
change.
Strict uRPF (feasible paths variant, RFC3704) works just fine with
multihomed customers here.
But we don't allow TE more specifics either from the customer or from
peers, so the longest prefix matching doesn't get messed up. And with
certain kind of p2p link numbering, you may need to add a dummy static
route. But it works.
For more see especially Section 3 of:
