In the Novell metrics example, a data packet is sent from net 1 to net 4 via net 2
and 3, as the Delay (transmission time) is less (transmission speed on Ethernet 10
Mbps) than over the link with a baud rate of 9600 bps.

To send data from a NetWare device to a destination address on an other network,
the following process is initiated:
1. The NetWare device (source address) broadcasts a routing request to all
routers on the Local Area Network (LAN).
2. All local routers with a path to the destination address send a routing
response to the querying workstation.
3. The NetWare device selects the best path and sends the data to the selected
router.
