Source routed packets

[Honsinger at einstein.wsd.wednet.edu]

Are there any side affects to configuring a router to not accept source routed
packets? I have heard enabling this feature is a good way to stop people from
spoofing. I have been having a problem with someone spoofing to attack this
machine. Basically, I'm wondering if there are any legitimate uses of source
routed packets. Thanks!
