Strict checking mode verifies that the source IPv6 address of an IPv6 packet exists in the routing
table and that the source IPv6 address is reachable by a path through the input interface. To
configure strict checking mode, use one of the following commands:

ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path

Starting in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(31)S, the Cisco 12000 series Internet router supports both

Unicast RPF for IPv6 on the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router
When the Unicast RPF for IPv6 feature is enabled on an interface:
1.
The Cisco 12000 series Internet router examines all IPv6 packets received as input on that interface
to make sure that the source address and source interface appear in the routing table and match the
interface on which the packet was received. This ability to “look backwards” is available only when
Cisco express forwarding (CEF) is enabled on the router, because the lookup relies on the presence
of the Forwarding Information Base (FIB). CEF generates the FIB as part of its operation.

Unicast RPF for IPv6 is an input function and is applied only on the input interface of a
Cisco 12000 series Internet router at the upstream end of a connection.
