[comp.unix.wizards] BSD route daemon

kurt@hi.UUCP (Kurt Zeilenga) (08/07/87)

Most of the systems on our network run some form of the route daemon
'routed'.  Network == multiple (but few) IP networks (and subnets) on
ethernets.  Gateways are all 4.X BSD UNIX host computers. No Internet
gateway, YET (but we are hoping).

I would like to know the pros and cons of replacing the daemons with
hardcoded routes.  We are having problems with a few non-gateway
systems adverstising incorrect info.  Like today one system (Ultrix
1.2) said: "I'm a gateway to 255.255.255.255"!  Subjects I am interested
in are: system overhead, network drain, static vs dynamic route tables,
etc.

We will be bring up EGP on our gateways to Internet.
