Src Dependent vs. Src Independent

Src Dependent vs. Src Independent

Using Source Dependent routing, the next hop to the destination depends on the source of the packet
Source Dependent routing allow packets from different machines to travel different routes

Using Source Independent routing, the next hop to the destination does not depend on the source of the packet
Source Independent routing helps reduce table size
