Question:  Can a prefix be never routed on the Internet but used only one-way 
for source address in IP packets? 

That is. a user owns an IP prefix. They never advertise a route to it in BGP on 
the Internet. But they use the prefix solely for source address in IP traffic 
from a source to a destination (sink).  In this set up, the destination server 
obviously cannot/doesn't return any acknowledgements etc. to the source.  
Anyone aware if there is any such known application in use on the Internet - 
even if it is rare? Thanks.
