[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] what does and ICMP redirect message mean

mercer@ncrcce.StPaul.NCR.COM (Dan Mercer) (03/20/90)

We have a TCP-IP LAN with a WellFleet Router gating to a second LAN
with a single PC on it (running WIN/TCP-IP).  The main LAN is
comprised mostly of SUNs.  One of the SUNs acts as a router.  Our
WellFleet router is receiving a message from the SUN router,
an ICMP-redirect,  every 30 secs.  Unfortunately,  I cannot find
out what the message means or what I need to do to make it stop.
Please don't ask me to RTFM.  What manuals I have access to
either don't mention the redirect message at all or do not
indicate what the problem really is or how to correct it.
