Source Routing
Check this box to allow IP source routed packets to pass. A source routed packet specifies its own route
through the network and does not rely on the system to control forwarding. This box is not checked by
default, because source-routed packets can present a security risk.
Fragments
Check this box to allow fragmented IP packets to pass. Large data packets may be fragmented on their
journey through networks, and the destination system reassembles them. While you would normally
allow fragmented packets to pass, you might disallow them if you suspect a security problem. This box
is checked by default.
