That example ends in a 3, but a valid RIF will end with a zero because the last step in a route will always be a ring, not a bridge. Therefore the last bridge field will be a zero. >>> "David Chandler" 4/17/01 2:18:03 PM >>> Why can't the 3 be correct? The only 3 in the rif is part of a RD (route designator field) the 0810 is the RC (route control field). RC= Type 3 bits = 000 (directed explorer non-broadcast) Length 5 bits = 01000 = 8 bytes = # of bytes of the rif RC + RD; in this example 1 RC + 3 RDs (2 bytes each) Direction 1 bit = 0 = left to right Largest 3 bit = 001 = 1500 bytes DaveC John Neiberger wrote: > > That is a great link!
