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.!!!) -- _ _ o | __ | jmg@cernvax.uucp | | | | _ / \ _ __ _ __ _| jmg@cernvax.bitnet | | | | |_) /_) | __/_) | (___\ | (_/ | J.
