>   I'm trying to set up some filters on my gateway. Unfortunately the software

>header are always in the same place. To do this the size of the IP header 
must be

>packets that contain options. Is there a problem with this? From what I've 
read,
>you want to get rid of any packets that contain source routing options anyway,
>are any other options common and desirable?
