the metric of -the new route is compared against the one stored in the table -to decide this. -.El -.Pp -When an update is applied, -.Nm -records the change in its internal tables and generates a -.Em response -packet to all directly connected hosts and networks. -The -.Xr routed 8 -utility waits a short period -of time (no more than 30 seconds) before modifying the kernel's -routing tables to allow possible unstable situations to settle. -.Pp -In addition to processing incoming packets, -.Nm -also periodically checks the routing table entries. -If an entry has not been updated for 3 minutes, the entry's metric -is set to infinity and marked for deletion. -Deletions are delayed -an additional 60 seconds to ensure the invalidation is propagated -to other routers. -.Pp -Hosts acting as internetwork routers gratuitously supply their -routing tables every 30 seconds to all directly connected hosts -and networks. -.Pp -If -.Nm -receives a -.Dv SIGINFO -signal the current contents of the -.Tn RIP -and -.Tn SAP -tables are appended to the file -.Pa /var/log/ipxrouted.dmp . -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr ipx 3 -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -utility first appeared in -.Fx 2.2 . |
