I am confuses the function between Unicast RPF and Reverse Path Forwarding.What is the difference between Unicast RPF and Reverse Path Forwarding?Because they both verify the source address of each packet before forwarding it to the destination too? ...
How does L3 Switch deal with broadcast communication such as ARP,DHCP or Broadcast storm? Is it the same that router deal with such as blocking a broadcast communication or ip address "255.255.255.255"?
Thanks John. I more understand the difference of them after I read your explanation although there are about 15-20% of your explanation that don't answer a whole of my question
but both of them check the source address. You mean Unicast RPF just filter only but RPF doesn't only check but also forward a packet to the destination?
