[Sip] RFC 791

["Palavesan V C. Arumugam" <palavesam at logiceastern.com>]

HI sir

 

I am new to IP networks I want some clarification in RFC 791

 

 

Page 18 and 19

"Loose Source and Record Route"

The paragraph in page 19 which states

"If the address in destination address field has been reached and

the pointer is not greater than the length, the next address in

the source route replaces the address in the destination address

field, and the recorded route address replaces the source

address just used, and pointer is increased by four"

I am not getting cleared with the concept of Source route and record route what does the above statement means Can someone give an insight into it with an example

Thanks and Regards

Palavesam
