You can configure your VINES interface to support Sequenced RTP only,
Nonsequenced RTP only, or Automode (both Sequenced RTP and Nonsequenced
RTP), using the RTP Mode parameter. (Refer to Chapter 4 for details about using
Site Manager to access this parameter.) However, if you configure the interface for
Sequenced RTP only, the network connected to all of the interfaces must have
Banyan Version 5.50 servers or clients. Likewise, if you configure the interface for
Nonsequenced RTP only, the network must have Banyan Version 4.11 servers or
clients.
In a mixed network, that is, one running both Sequenced and Nonsequenced RTP
and configured for Automode, the router sends out a nonsequenced routing update
packet only when it receives a nonsequenced routing update packet from a server,
router, or client. Otherwise, the router advertises sequenced routing update
packets only.
VINES Nonsequenced Address Resolution Protocol
The VINES Nonsequenced Address Resolution Protocol (Nonsequenced ARP)
allows service nodes to provide address resolution services to client nodes that do
not have VINES internet addresses. VINES uses the VINES IP services to deliver
address resolution packets between nodes.
A VINES Nonsequenced ARP packet is prefixed with an 8-byte header and
follows the VINES IP header (Figure 1-7)
.
Figure 1-7. VINES Nonsequenced Address Resolution Protocol Header
VINES Nonsequenced ARP defines two types of entities:
• Address resolution services
Packet type (2 bytes)
Network number (4 bytes)
Subnetwork number (2 bytes)
8 bytes
