Subject: source routing and Ascend P50

I have an Ascend Pipeline 50 router and would like to kill all
incoming source-routed packets.

   1) Is it possible to filter source-routed packets with a P50?

   2) If so, can anyone provide an example of such a filter rule?

I've spent some time on the phone with Ascend in an attempt to
answer these questions.  In that hunt, I spoke with four support
people, none of whom were familiar with the concept of source
routing.  (That was, in itself, a little disturbing.)  I tried to
explain what source routing was and why it was of interest, but I
never did get any useful responses.
