Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) can help limit malicious IPv4/IPv6 traffic on a network. uRPF works by enabling the router to verify reachability (routing) of the source IP address (SIP) in the packet being forwarded. If the SIP is determined to be an invalid address, the packet is dropped.

Unicast reverse-path forwarding (uRPF) is a security feature that validates the source IP address of an incoming packet to ensure that the incoming packet has originated from a legitimate/valid source. If validation of the source IP address fails, then the packet is dropped, thus preventing IP spoofing from illegitimate/invalid sources.
