Hi Ahmed,

Are you talking about source based routing, if so then this can be done via PBR (Policy based routing), since normal routing using static routes or dynamic routing protocols takes its decision based on the destination, then it is called destination based routing, PBR was introduced to do routing based on source as one of its benefits, and thus called source based routing.

Hi Ahmed

Well you need software that will allow you to specify the route you want the packets to take. There are hacker tools out there that allow you to do this in order to try and bypass certain security features.

You can also do it with extended ping on a cisco router. When it asks if you want extended options select yes and when you get down to the option

Loose, Strict, Record, Timsetamp, Verbose

choose Strict and this allows you to specify the route you want the packet to take.

Hi Ahmed

Not sure what you are asking. Source routing is where the source machine makes the decision as to which route the packets will take to the destination. The routers that the packet goes through become simple receive and forward devices ie. they do not make any independent routing decisions on which way to send the packet.

Does this answer your question ?

Jon

yes. i mean that answer but i want to know the mechanism for doing this process.
