Hi Darius,

Yes, I agree that feasible RPF solves the problem in a lot of scenarios.

However, in some other cases, the asymmetric routing is caused by
static routing, traffic engineering, policy routing, etc., where the
lengths of forward path and reverse path may differ, so feasible RPF
may also fail (false positive).
