Fun with my mailor, let me try this again.
So, if someone, or possibly a group of someones, were to make the following request to the various router vendors, would they be met with approval by most of the readers?
We requests that your routers be configurable, at the interface level, to prevent the forwarding of an ICMP echo-request packet through an interface that has a broadcast or wire address that matches the destination address of that packet. We also request that the default configurations of your routers be modified to prevent said forwarding.
We request that your routers be configurable, both globally and and the interface level, with the interface configuration overiding the global configuration, to prevent the forwarding of an IP packet with a source network address different from the network address of the interface on which it was received. We also request that the default configurations of your routers be modified to prevent, globally, said forwarding.
