JB> Hmm, does anyone know what's an "RVIA" flag for and where is JB> it documented? it is a failed experiment... it was started to store routing information in the nodelist... RVIA is Route VIA... there are additional ones, too... and no, i'm not sure where they ever were documented... they started as something tossed out in FTSC_PUBLIC (AIR) and a few jumped on it and added it to their nodelist entries as a userflag... userflags are experimental, right? in any case, others then jumped on that idea and added a method of scanning for those flags to generate netmail routing charts... sadly, none of those who fought (in Z1) about this even _use_ the information in their routing charts... the biggest idea was to try to get netmail routing as close to the hands of the destination system as possible rather than going on as had been where things just kinda flowed whichever way and the netmail might reach it's destination... )\/(ark* Origin: (1:3634/12) SEEN-BY: 106/2000 200/0 201/100 148 200 209 300 329 400 505 600 203/600 SEEN-BY: 204/450 700 205/0 206/0 490/21 633/267 270 @PATH: 3634/12 106/2000 201/505 633/267 |
