Configure interface-specific Host/Router behaviour. If set, the interface will
switch to host mode and IPv6 forwarding will be disabled on this interface.

-
- Enable policy for source validation by reversed path, as specified in
- :rfc:`3704`. Current recommended practice in :rfc:`3704` is to enable strict
- mode to prevent IP spoofing from DDos attacks. If using asymmetric routing
- or other complicated routing, then loose mode is recommended.
-
- - strict: Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the interface
- is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail. By default failed
- packets are discarded.
-
- - loose: Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against the FIB
- and if the source address is not reachable via any interface the packet
- check will fail.
-
- - disable: No source validation
