Can you support with data either: 1) IP source routing is used for "lots of abuse" 2) disabling IP source routing would prevent "lots of abuse"
LSRR is a tool utilized to verify network topology and investigate such things as pointing default, etc. Several SP's require LSRR at minimum on border routers for this reason.
