- XNS RIP
-
- This packet is carrying routing
-
- information between routers in a Xerox
-
- Network Systems (XNS) network. It
-
- contains information about various XNS
-
- networks and the number of hops a packet
-
- must travel to get to each network. Note
-
- that a hop count of 16 indicates that
-
- the network in question is unreachable
-
- (or becoming so) via the router
-
- transmitting the packet. Routing
-
- Information Protocol (RIP) packets are
-
- transmitted by each router once or more
-
- about every 30 seconds, and are useful
-
- in determining the connectivity of an
-
- XNS network.
