Source Demand Routing Protocol
This page provides IP protocol information on the Source Demand Routing Protocol (SDRP) detected by the Netify DPI engine. Please see the IP protocol catalog for information on other IP protocols.
SDRP is the Source Demand Routing Protocol, an early proposal allowing a packet's source to specify part of its route through the network explicitly.

SDRP was proposed in the early 1990s as source-routing research, and was experimental, was never widely deployed, and is now historical.
IP Protocol Network Policy
IP protocol #42 - Source Demand Routing Protocol - is typically dropped by edge routers and firewalls. Advanced threat actors and malware families can use these non-standard IP protocol numbers for lateral movement (east-west communication) inside internal networks.
