HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01 Administrator's Guide

ROUTE_PARAMS[9]="force"

NOTE: Configuring cross-container rules can interfere with the ability to import containers to another

system. See 6.9 Copying containers by exporting and importing for more details.

12.7 IP Routers and strong end system (ES) model

To ensure proper routing, HP-UX Containers configures the system to use the strong end system (ES)

model, as described in RFC 1122 to provide symmetric routing of connection based network traffic.

When the strong ES model is used, a system cannot act as an IP router. A system with the strong ES

model silently drops incoming IP packets with destination IP addresses that do not match the interface

address. Outbound IP packets must use the interface address as the source IP address.

12.7.1 Application gateway servers

Although HP-UX Containers systems cannot be used as IP routers, they can be used as application

gateway servers. Application gateway servers receive IP packets sent to a local IP address, process

the packets at an upper layer, and retransmit the packets using the local IP address as the source

address.
