Discussion

Source-routed packets allow the source of the packet to suggest that routers forward the packet along a different path than configured on the router, which can be used to bypass network security measures. This requirement applies only to the handling of source-routed traffic destined to the system itself, not to traffic forwarded by the system to another, such as when IPv6 forwarding is enabled and the system is functioning as a router.

The ability to control the acceptance of source-routed packets is not inherent to IPv6.
