The record route option is an option!

The IPv4 Record Route (RR) Option instructs routers to record their IP addresses in a
packet. RR is subject to a nine hop limit and, traditionally, inconsistent support from routers.
Recent changes in interdomain connectivity---the so-called" flattening Internet"---and new
best practices for how routers should handle RR packets suggest that now is a good time to
reassess the potential of the RR Option. We quantify the current utility of RR by issuing RR
measurements from PlanetLab and M-Lab to every advertised BGP prefix. We find that 75 …
