Hi all, Just reading the above RFC and have come across the following snag.
Looking at the packet format it states that "The portion of the datagram from 'address family identifier' through 'metric' may appear upto 25 times" On the next page it also states that "The maximum datagram size is 512 octets. This includes only the portions of the datagram described above. It does not count the IP or UDP headers." Now, from the 'address family identifier' to the 'metric' field inclusive of each is 20 octets, which when we have 25 entries yields 25 x 20 or 500 octets. Add on the 4 octets from the 'command' field to the 'must be zero' field and we have 504 octets only. Obviously if we add the UDP header we can get 512 octets. So something appears to be amiss or am I missing something ? Phil. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
