My understanding of RFC 2460 is that all nodes, meaning both hosts and
routers, should process Routing Headers.
=> two points:
- should process is too strong, my feeling is "should implement the
processing of Routing Headers"
- to process and to forward are two different things (forward is stronger).
IMHO the default policy for hosts should be process but not forward.
