I understood what you were saying, I just was not aware of any attacks
which used source routing.

I was, and am, asking for clarification on that.

Is it just a simple "overwhelm the router with whatever ip options I can"
type attack? Or are you aware of people actively using source routing
to get around weak defenses? Something else?
