It the very least you need to do loose check to allow for asmeterical
paths.....
but I would think that as you are doing per-packet you loose any flow info,
so
uRPF may end up checking ***every*** packet vs. the first packet of every
flow.
Perhaps someone else has a clear understanding of this and can comment.
