In Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt, the accept_source_route
parameter is described with:
Accept packets with SRR option.
I could not find anything describing an "SRR option". The closest thing
was something called "SSR - Strict Source Route"[0] - is that what is
meant here? If so, RFC791 then refers to the same as "SSRR", as in "strict
source and record route". Does the patch below clears that up or did I
confuse it with something else?
Thanks,
Christian.
