We (at least cisco, anyways) already have a knob for this:
[no] ip verify unicast reverse-path
We call it Unicast RPF.

What are the chances of setting up "The Next Release" of IOS
so that for simple configs (for example, a customer backbone and
one upstream link to a provider) the knob would automagically default
to Doing The Right Thing? I of course am writing as a non-expert on
the innnards of IOS, and I'm expecting flame-fests regarding "simple
config" and "Right Thing".
No, it's not a total fix. It won't fix everything. It may not
even be possible. But it certainly would be nice. ;)
