- "IF the router generates an NBP LkUp packet with a DDP source
- address set to the address of the originating node (A), and a
- hop count of zero, the receiving nodes (B) can (incorrectly)
- GLEEN an AARP entry mapping the node A DDP address to the
- Router Ethernet address."
-
- Huh? The incorrect behavior in this case is the router putting
- something other than its own address in the DDP source address field.
- The originating node's address goes in the NBP tuple.
-
- Now the big question: is there a router which implements this incorrect
- behavior? And if so, why?
