Of course, I mean denial of service attacks using source routing, i.e. made
possible by use of same. I guess I need to be semantically perfect and
I don't always have a wonderful command of the english language it seems,
but please grant that I'm not stupid.

Thanks

Disabling source-routing is like filtering icmp, sure you might block
a few abuses, but more often than not, you are throwing out legitimate
