For service nodes, the table of networks contains an entry for all known networks,
except for the server’s own. Client nodes keep track only of the networks with
which they are currently communicating, thus reducing table space. For service
nodes, the table of neighbors contains an entry for each neighboring node. Client
nodes keep track only of the neighbors with which they are currently
communicating.
The Nonsequenced RTP entities exchange these four types of packets:
• Nonsequenced routing update packets
