Kim,
I believe this is the protocol number assigned
to EIGRP multicast packets.
I have take the liberty of including a good
link to CISCO which has a ggod explanation about
IGRP and this particular topic. By the way, you
will truly enjoy Doyle's book. Do all the exercises and try to recreate
scenarios whenever possible.
A truly excellent book.

Subject: Protocol 9
On page 232 of Doyle's Routing TCP/IP he states," Unlike RIP, which is accessed via UDP, the IGRP process is accessed directly from the IP layer as protocol 9." Can anyone explain "protocol 9"? I have tried a few books and CCO but can't seem to find an explaination of what it is.
Thanks for any assistance,
Kim O'Connor
