A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2583: Title: Guidelines for Next Hop Client (NHC) Developers Author(s): R. Carlson, L. Winkler Status: Informational Date: May 1999 Mailbox: RACarlson@anl.gov, lwinkler@anl.gov Pages: 9 Characters: 21338 Updates/Obsoletes/See Also: None I-D Tag: draft-carlson-nhrp-03.txt URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2583.txt This document provides guidelines for developers of the Next Hop Resolution Protocol Clients (NHC). It assumes that the clients are directly connected to an ATM based NBMA network. The same principles will apply to clients connected to other types of NBMA networks. The intent is to define the interaction between the NHC code and the TCP/IP protocol stack of the local host operating system. The NHC is capable of sending NHRP requests to a Next Hop Resolution Protocol Server (NHS) to resolve both inter and intra LIS addresses. The NHS reply may be positive (ACK) indicating a short-cut path is available or negative (NAK) indicating that a shortcut is not available and the routed path must be used. The NHC must cache (maintain state) for both the ACK and NAK replies in order to use the correct shortcut or routed path. The NAK reply must be cached to avoid making repeated requests to the NHS when the routed path is being used. This document is a product of the Internetworking Over NBMA Working Group of the IETF.
