External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Source routing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20080224174623/http://www.iss.net:80/security_center/advice/Underground/Hacking/Methods/Technical/Source_Routing/default.htm to http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Underground/Hacking/Methods/Technical/Source_Routing/default.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

What about e-mail?

Source routing has also been used for entire messages in e-mail, although in is now obsolete.^[1]

RFC 821 utilized the concept of explicit source routing to get mail from one host to another via a series of relays. The requirement to utilize source routes in regular mail traffic was eliminated by the introduction of the domain name system "MX" record and the last significant justification for them was eliminated by the introduction, in RFC 1123, of a clear requirement that addresses following an "@" must all be fully-qualified domain names. Consequently, the only remaining justifications for the use of source routes are support for very old SMTP clients or MUAs and in mail system debugging. They can, however, still be useful in the latter circumstance and for routing mail around serious, but temporary, problems such as problems with the relevant DNS records.
