I saw a couple of fixes to allow gateway hosts to forward broadcast packets. Won't this cause probles if there are loops in the network topology? Wouldn't it be better for applications such as rwho to send a broadcast packet for every net (ie fill in the net part of an address but set the host part to zero). I think 4.2 will forward such packets. -- sanjay UUCP: ...!{ utzoo,decvax,ihnp4,allegra}!watmath!srradia ARPA: srradia%watmath%waterloo.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa CSNET: srradia%watmath@waterloo.CSNET
