[comp.os.vms] Level 1 routing packets

jmg@cernvax.UUCP (jmg) (06/30/88)

We have a particular level 2 router which has a nasty habit of putting
out a partial level 1 routing packet (for the first 32 nodes in the area)
every second for a long time. Odd thing is that there is absolutely no
change in the routing information for these 32 nodes.

I know that there was a fix found for stopping level 2 routers to put
out unnecessary level 2 routing packets, but I do not recall seeing any
fix for unnecessary level 1 routing packets. Did I miss something?
Is this problem seen anywhere else?

(I spend my time trying to reduce broadcast/multicast traffic on a very
large Ethernet with hundreds of vaxes, PCs, Macs, Apollos, Suns, gateways,
terminal concentrators, bridges etc. etc. etc.!!!)
