systems that must be traversed to reach a destination. gated supports BGP Versions 2, 3,
and 4, as described in RFCs 1163 and 1267.
gated also supports the Router Discovery Protocol (RDP), which is neither an interior nor an exterior
gateway protocol. RDP is used to inform hosts of the existence of routers to which the hosts can
send packets. It is used instead of, or in addition to, a statically configured default router. Router
discovery consists of two parts: a server part that runs on routers, and a client part that runs on
hosts.
The ramD Routing Daemon
The Route Administration Manager (ramD) is a routing daemon that implements multiple IPv6
unicast routing protocols. You can configure the ramD Daemon (ramd) to perform all or any
combination of the supported protocol functions.
ramd handles the following routing protocols:
• Routing Information Protocol Next-Generation (RIPng)
• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
• Intermediate System - Intermediate System for IPv6 (IS-IS)
Upon startup, ramd reads the HP-UX kernel routing table on the local machine. It maintains a
complete routing table in the user space and synchronizes this table with the HP-UX kernel routing
table. For more information on configuring and troubleshooting ramD, see the HP-UX ramD
