[bit.listserv.nodmgt-l] :routtab table format

PASCH@DHDIBM1.BITNET (Berthold Pasch +49 (6221) 404-242) (02/13/90)

The definition of the :routtab tag in NODETAGS DESCRIPT contains the
following format description (and this has been chosen deliberately and
after carefully thinking about the whole subject):

  value(TABLE-FORMAT) = defined by table generating program

Basta !!!

Conclusion:
If you use GENROUTS then use the table-formats defined by GENROUTS.
If you use another program then use the table-formats as defined by
that program (if it looks into the :routtab tag at all).
Since NETSERV uses GENROUTS, the correct values are those for GENROUTS
if you subscribe to Netserv's routing table service.
If the GENROUTS author decides to extend the list of valid table-formats
then the new/extended formats may be specified in :routtab.

P.S. The new GENROUTS (GR...) accepts NJEF format as follows:
       NJEF <node=lid ... >
