IMHO, the existance of so many traceroute looking glasses is significant evidence that operators (not just researchers) need intermediate point traceroute. It is used by people to find routes external to their network and to explore routes within their networks (say big datacentre operators or big corporate networks). This feature should be implementable in traceroute (where it seems to belong) and not as a web/telnet application, which requires you to have a cooperating server in each network you might want to trace through. This is why I think someone might want to turn RH0 back on again (to get this feature on their own network). They can filter at the border to prevent external abuse, and use the usual procedures to deal with internal abuse. This is also the sort of feature that ordinary users are not likely to use, which is why I think it is reasonable to have it off by default. I understand Itojun's suggestion that we can have a RH7 that will allow useful source routing without the danger associated with RH0. This sounds like a very good idea. However, realistically, I suspect that even if the RH7 standard was fully specified tomorrow, we would be waiting more than two years to have it implemented in production versions of software that operators are likely to be using.
