A nonzero value for the count of dropped or suppressed packets can mean one of two things:
• Packets have a bad source address (normal operation).
• Router is misconfigured to use Unicast RPF in environments where asymmetric routing exists; that
is, where multiple paths can exist as the best return path for a source address.
Note The RPF counter increases when the source address resolves to a NULL 0 because the address
is then considered as spoof.
Example 13-2 shows the total of dropped or suppressed packets at a specific interface using the show ip
interface command.
