This chapter describes Novell IPX/SPX Routing services in the Intel Express
8100 Router.
Novell IPX routing is based upon a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Ser-
vice Advertising Protocol (SAP).
Note that Novell IPX RIP is not the same as TCP/IP RIP.
Note
Novell IPX calculates the best route to a destination based upon routing time de-
lays associated with the links and with the number of hops (intermediate routers)
taken to reach a network.
It is assumed that you have a basic knowledge of IPX and the addressing system
used in Novell IPX.
For further information on IPX, see Novell's "IPX Router Specification" Part
