[LARTC] Reverse Path Filtering

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Can anyone explain the difference between a value of 2 and a value of
1 in

  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter

Actually, I notice that kernel 2.2 has a value of 2, in addition to 1,
but 2.4 only has a value of 1 (both obviously also allow 0).

I don't see anything in RFC1812 about source validation by reversed
path, although it's a long RFC. :)
