[nsp] Forwarding packets with source address of 127.x

According to RFC 1812, section 5.3.7, a router should not forward packets
with a source address in 127.x.y.z... However, several DOS style attacks
seem
to show this happening.

Has Cisco in the past said they would not follow the RFC here, or is it a
bug?

Thanks,
Sean
