This routing header was designed to support the same use cases as the IPv4 header options. As there were several significant attacks against this routing header, its utilisation was deprecated. [6] A more secure form of source routing was being developed within the IETF as of 2017 to support the IPv6 version of segment routing. [7]
Loose Source Routing is an IP option which can be used for address translation. LSR is also used to implement mobility in IP networks. [3] Loose source routing uses a source routing option in IP to record the set of routers a packet must visit. The destination of the packet is replaced with the next router the packet must visit.

IP forwarding algorithms in most routing software determine a route through a shortest path algorithm. In routers, packets arriving at an interface are examined for source and destination addressing and queued to the appropriate outgoing interface according to their destination address and a set of rules and performance metrics.

Reverse-path forwarding (RPF) is a technique used in modern routers for the purposes of ensuring loop-free forwarding of multicast packets in multicast routing and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing. [1] In standard unicast IP routing, the router forwards the packet away from the source to make progress along the ...
The Babel routing protocol has support for source-specific routing for both IPv4 and IPv6; [7] this is implemented for IPv6 in babeld and in BIRD (earlier versions of babeld supported source-specific routing for IPv4 [8]); There exists an implementation of IS-IS with support for source-specific routing for IPv6 only. [9]
The network with the longest subnet mask or network prefix that matches the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the destination host, or earlier along the route, when a router has no default route available and cannot route the packet otherwise.
