2 different answers for this one. 1) (archaic) A method of transmitting a packet with some/all of the intermediate routers specified to reach its destination. Fallen strongly out of favor due to inefficiency and security risks.
2) A technique in policy-based routing which makes forwarding decisions based not only on the destination of the packet, but also its source. Useful if, e.g., a company has 2 routable subnets from 2 different ISPs, and they want to ensure that the right traffic goes out the right WAN, rather than all traffic through a single default gateway. -Jim At 01:34 AM 5/23/2002, David Sudjiman wrote: >Guys, > >Can somebody tell me about Source-routed packet? > >thx >-- >Where's the man could ease a heart >Like a satin gown? > -- Dorothy Parker, "The Satin Dress" > >_______________________________________________ >Firewalls mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >For Account Management (unsubscribe, get/change password, etc) Please go to: >http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] For Account Management (unsubscribe, get/change password, etc) Please go to: http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
