The June 1988 revision of KIP (KIP 0688) is primarily a maintenance release allowing KIP to interoperate with non-KIP bridges. Basically, code was added to allow KIP to do ZIP queries for routes not acquired from the administrative daemon/host. With these changes, KFPS boxes running KIP should look like fully functional AppleTalk Bridges as defined by Apple. Also, it is now possible to set the start of the WKS UDP port range. These are the UDP ports used to map into the well known DDP sockets (e.g. nbp socket, rtmp socket, etc). Thus, with CAP 5.0 and KIP 6/88 you can now use the UDP port allocation from the ARPANET NIC instead of the adhoc set of ports used before. Other changes: Limits on the implementation are listed in doc/limits. The KIP version number is now sent out on the "startup herald". See doc/rev0688 in the distribution for more information. Be warned that the previous versions of atalkad will not work properly with kip 0688, however, the new version of atalkad will work with kip 0987 and kip 0188. kip 0688 is available from SUMEX.Stanford.EDU via anonymous ftp as usual from the ps:<info-mac> directory as: at-kip.shar (kfps sources, unix sources & documentation) at-gw.srec (compiled kfps code). kip 0688 is also available from cunixc.cc.columbia.edu [128.59.32.130] (most recently known as cunixc.columbia.edu) via anonymous ftp in the directory kip under the same names.

Jeez, just when you think things are over with: the atalkrd that went out initially doesn't work with the new port mapping code because it knew nothing about it and doesn't compile because of other changes. If you retrieved or initiated a retrieval of at-kip.shar from sumex before 6:14PM EDT (3:14PM PDT), you can contact me for a copy of the modified atalkrd. If you haven't retrieved at-kip.shar yet, ignore this message. Charlie C. Kim User Services Columbia University
