Reverse-path forwarding: Multicast RPF, Unicast RPF & Filtering vs. forwarding

Reverse-path forwarding (RPF) is a technique used in modern routers for the purposes of ensuring loop-free forwarding of multicast packets in multicast routing and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing.
