Hello,

Basically, accept_source_route says how to handle packets with the SRR option set. If 1 (default for a router) it accepts those packets, if 0 (default for a host) it will drop them. [This is actually written in ../Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt]

They will be dropped on all interfaces since /all/accept_source_route=0. Now you need to know that:
/all/${var} means: enable this feature ${var} /default/${var} means: inherit /all/${var} on newly instances of a physical interface

all=0 should do the task.
