Issue: bandwidth of SAPs (Service Advertisement Protocol) broadcast over
the WAN - depending on how many IPX services are allowed, it could be a big
hit...although I've never personally seen SAP traffic saturate a decent
bandwidth (128k and above) WAN link, perhaps others here have.
Solution: Filter outbound SAP's at the source router (this may need to be
done at both ends of the WAN circuit depending on the number of servers on
each side. Normally, unless an application or printer needs to be
advertised on the 'other' end of the WAN link, I shut them all down, except
for file services.
Otherwise, the routing tables (same for IPX RIP as IP RIP) are sent over the
WAN link every 90 seconds by default.
