VINES Overview
117372-A Rev. A 1-17
These packets specify that network layer exceptions occurred during the
routing of transport layer messages. The ICP entity generates exception
notification packets when
-- VINES IP cannot properly route or receive a VINES IP packet. For
example, a service node receives a packet containing an unknown
destination address.
-- The packet has the error subfield enabled in the VINES IP header’s
transport control field.
• Metric notification packets
These packets contain metric information about the final transmission
medium used to reach a client node. The ICP entity generates metric
notification packets when
-- The entity routes a packet with the metric subfield enabled in the transport
control field of the VINES IP header.
-- The destination address in the VINES IP header specifies a node that is a
neighbor of the service node.
