Just so I am absolutely certain what happens here: Is the number of routes
that are held in the TCAM simply halved *as soon as unicast RPF checking
is turned on* (even for a single interface) - or are there other config
parameters that are also relevant?
(If it only takes a single "ip verify unicast reverse-path", I guess I'll
be converting our 6500s to use input ACLs instead.)
