ROUTING USING CACHED SOURCE ROUTES FROM MESSAGE HEADERS

摘要

In one embodiment, an intermediate node of a computer network can receive a message intended for a destination. The message can include a header indicating a source route. The intermediate node can determine a routing entry for the destination associated with a next hop based on the source route and cache the routing entry. The intermediate node can further receive a second message intended for the destination that does not indicate the next hop, and transmit the second message according to the cached routing entry.
