Well, that seems more std track than bcp to me.
If it's an operational recommendation (SHOULD because that's all that
routers are expected to support), then it would be BCP.
If you want to prohibit hosts from generating longer chains, that would
be std track.
I want to recommend hosts not to send such packets. Hence it looks like
std track.
Telling them they SHOULD NOT is BCP. It's a configuration, and it's
compliant with the existing standard AFAICT, so since it's not a change
per se it wouldn't be a STD.
