Status of This Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.
Introduction
This memo is being distributed to members of the Internet community
to fully document an Apple protocol that may be running over the
Internet. While the issues discussed may not be directly relevant to
the research problems of the Internet, they may be interesting to a
number of researchers and implementers.
About This Document
This document provides detailed information about the AppleTalk
Update-based Routing Protocol (AURP) and wide area routing. AURP
provides wide area routing enhancements to the AppleTalk routing
protocols and is fully compatible with AppleTalk Phase 2. The
organization of this document has as its basis the three major
components of AURP:
AppleTalk tunneling, which allows AppleTalk data to pass through
foreign networks and over point-to-point links
the propagation of AppleTalk routing information between internet
routers connected through foreign networks or over point-to-point
links
the presentation of AppleTalk network information by an internet
router to nodes and other Phase 2-compatible routers on its local
internet
What This Document Contains
The chapters of this document contain the following information:
Chapter 1, "Introduction to the AppleTalk Update-Based Routing
Protocol," introduces the three major components of AURP and the
