NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: ROUTE.NLM for NetWare 3.x and 4.x
DOCUMENT ID: TID013428
DOCUMENT REVISION: A
DATE: 15SEP93
ALERT STATUS: Yellow
INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution
README FOR: SRTFX.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION:
NetWare 3.11
NetWare 3.12
NetWare 4.01
ABSTRACT:
This ROUTE.NLM fixes a problem on NetWare 4.x servers with slow response
caused by a limit of 79 entries to the Source Routing Table. Under these
limitations, packets sent to a node not in the source routing table would be
sent as Single Route Broadcasts. Now, more entries can be added to the Source
Routing Table as long as there is enough memory in the file server. This
ROUTE.NLM can be used on NetWare 3.x servers as well as on NetWare 4.x
servers.

SYMPTOM
On a large network (more than 79 nodes), you will notice slower responses
from the network. However, on a small network, no symptom is apparent.
CAUSE
On NetWare 4.x servers only 79 entries are added to the Source Routing
Table. Any packet being sent to a node not in the Source Routing Table
would be sent as a Single Routes Broadcast.
SOLUTION
With this new ROUTE.NLM, more entries can be added to the source Routing
Table as long as there is enough memory in the file server.
