Quite a few times it has been mentioned to me that some peering

wondering whether this is still the case for some ISPs, or it is not
the case anymore.
Before we decommissioned our last open peering fabric, source-routing
was important to make sure your peer wasn't pointing default (or
similar) to you. With the advent of private (and far more limited)
bilateral peering as a preference to fabric based peering (at least
among the ones who set peering policies globally) this has become
less of an issue.
RFC 5095 aside.
Can someone give an example of how to use source routing to check a
peers routing policy?
