Why no source routing in Linux?

Why no source routing in Linux?

Post by Glenn Hol » Tue, 24 Sep 1996 04:00:00



I have 1.2.13 and there is no support for IP_OPTIONS and thus source routing
in sockets (setsockopt).  Only a subset of SOL_SOCKET is supported.  Why is
this, and can anyone point me to a version that does support this?

Thanks.

v2.0.14 is a good start.
