Hello, folks,

Quite a few times it has been mentioned to me that some peering agreements require support for the IPv4 source routing options. I was wondering whether this is still the case for some ISPs, or it is not the case anymore.

I haven't observed it in the recent past. looking backwards I can see a handfull of operators that did it (LSR) by policy everywhere in 2002.

I was also wondering if it has ever been the case that IPv6 peering agreements have required support for Type 0 Routing Header and, if it has, whether that still happens nowadays. (I guess not, but....)

I think you'd be hardpressed to find an operator that would knowingly honor rh(0) headers

Thanks so much!

Kind regards,
