Thank you for the clarification.

I have a second scenario that might be a challenge for Enhanced
Feasible-Path uRPF.

ASCII ART:

                +---+
          +-+AS1+--+
          | +---+  |
          |        |
          |        |
        +-+-+    +-+-+
        |AS2|    |AS3|
        +---+-+  +--++
                  |     |
                  |     |
                +-+-+   |
                |AS4+---+
                +---+

AS4 is a customer of AS2 and AS3. AS4 ingests a full routing table from
both AS2 and AS3 (and as such as two paths to AS4).

A common traffic engineering practise visible in the Default-Free Zone
is to block unbounded propagation of one's prefixes. For instance, AS4
might use a BGP Community provided by AS2 to block propagation of the
AS4 prefixes to AS1 via AS2. The equivalent would be that AS4 attaches
NO_EXPORT on the announcements to AS2, but not on the announcement to
AS3.

AS1 will receive traffic sourced by the prefixes from AS4 via both
AS2_AS4 and AS3_AS4.

Kind regards,

Job
