IPX Routing Table

Preamble
8 octets
Figure 3. Novell Encapsulation
The maximum length of an IPX packet passed through the router is 576
bytes. Note that on an Ethernet you may see larger packets. If these packets
are destined for remote LANs through the router, the data will be truncated
before the router forwards it.
IPX Routing Table
The IPX routing service forwards packets based on:
the network number portion of the destination network address, and
the information in the IPX routing table.
The IPX routing table contains an entry for each network number learned by
the router. For each destination network number entry, the table also
contains the following information:
Next Hop: If the destination network is directly connected to this
router, then next hop is the host number of this router (station
address of WAN port 1). If the destination network is a remote
network, the next hop is the host number of the next router along
the path to the destination.
Hop: the number of hops to the destination network from this router.
"n" hops indicates that "n" routers separate this router and the
destination network.
