Please be careful with terminology, though. In the multihoming context, we aren't
talking about source routes set by the host. We're talking about source-address
based routing implemented by the routers; there is no source route in the packet.
That's why it's usually abbreviated as SADR.
In segment routing, there is a source route in the packet. Different animal.
