QuestionQ313

Network and Communications Security

Which of the following most accurately defines source routing?

  • A The packets hold the forwarding information so they don't need to let bridges and routers decide what is the best route or way to get to the destination.
  • B The packets hold source information in a fashion that source address cannot be forged.
  • C The packets are encapsulated to conceal source information.
  • D The packets hold information about redundant paths in order to provide a higher reliability.
Explanation

Source routing places forwarding or path information in each packet so that the packet’s sender specifies the route, instead of intermediate bridges and routers independently selecting the best path to the destination.
