  Hi,
  
  Does someone know whether IP options are used a lot today? Does there
  exist measurements showing the fraction of packets carying IP options in
  the Internet. And what about ICMP packets, are there measurements
  showing the amount of ICMP packets in the Internet?
  
  Thanks a lot,

"Since the fraction of packets with IP header options 
is typically less than 0.003%"
