Unfortunately there still are many devices which don't have useful uRPF,
support, for instance on a Brocade XMR or MLX you can't enable it on 
virtual ethernet interfaces (kinda like cisco BVI int's). 

telnet@modern-bro(config)#interface ve 1000
telnet@modern-bro(config-vif-1000)#rpf-mode strict
Invalid input -> rpf-mode strict
Type ? for a list
telnet@modern-bro(config-vif-1000)#rpf-mode loose 
Invalid input -> rpf-mode loose
Type ? for a list
telnet@modern-bro(config-vif-1000)# !FUUUUUU!!!!!
