Source routing is a networking technique that allows the sender of a packet to specify the route that the packet should take through the network, instead of relying on the intermediate routers to determine the best path. This can be particularly useful in certain scenarios, such as troubleshooting, network testing, or when specific routing behavior is required. There are two types of source routing: 1. **Strict Source Routing**: In this mode, the sender specifies an exact path that the packet must follow through the network.
