Hi groupies !!!
I just happened upon this' whilst trying to rest
my brain from BGP.
A RIP II update sends a network mask out onto the
wire for every network the router is advertising.
Why didn't the designers just code the network
mask as a 6 bit field which could represent any mask
and save three bytes per network route ?
I've had a quick fiddle trying to create some
bizzar masks e.g 1.1.1.0 255.0.255.0 but they all
generate errors. 'Bad Mask etc'
Any ideas !!!
Regards,
Phil.
