1) First, URPF checks the source address validity, and then:
z
Discards packets with broadcast source addresses.
z
Discards packets with all-zero source addresses but non-broadcast destination addresses. (A
packet with source address 0.0.0.0 and destination address 255.255.255.255 might be a DHCP
packet, and thus is not discarded.)
2) If the source address of an incoming packet is found in the FIB table:
URPF does a reverse route lookup for routes to the source address of the packet. If at least one
outgoing interface of such a route matches the receiving interface, the packet passes the check.
Otherwise, the packet is rejected.
3) If the source address is not found in the FIB table:
z
If a default route is configured, URPF lets the packet pass if the outgoing interface of the default
route is the receiving interface, and otherwise rejects it.
z
If a default route is not configured, the packet is discarded.
