Though I am not a router vendor I am the person who has to handle this on FreeBSD. I like the above sentence as well. I think inspecting the packet contents when a packet passes through any sort of forwarding path is not what we want. If someone wants to actively filter these types of packet from their network that's what a firewall or packet filter is for.
