gated.conf(4) gated.conf(4)

a default value applied to the 3 class addresses:

0xff000000 for class A (network.host.host.host),

0xffff0000 for class B (network.network.host.host) and

0xffffff00 for class C (network.network.network.host).

neighbor

Another router which with implicit or explicit communication is established by a routing protocol.

Neighbors are usually on a shared network, but not always. This term is mostly used in OSPF and

EGP. Usually synonymous with peer.

neighboring routers

Two routers that have interfaces to a common network. On multiaccess networks, routers are dynami-

cally discovered by the OSPF HELLO protocol.

network

Any packet-switched network. A network may be speciﬁed by its IP address or network name. The

host bits in a network speciﬁcation must be zero. Default may be used to specify the default network

(0.0.0.0).

network

The IP address of a network. Usually speciﬁed as a dotted quad, one to four values in the range of 0 to

255 inclusive separated by dots (.). For example 132.236.199, 132.236 or 10. It may also be

speciﬁed as a hexadecimal string preceded by 0x with an even number of digits between two and

eight. For example 0x??????, 0x???? or 0x0a. Also allowed is the symbolic value default which

has the distinguished value 0.0.0.0, the default network. If options noresolv is not speciﬁed, a

symbolic network name can be used, for example nr-tech-prod, cornellu-net and arpanet.

The numeric forms are much preferred over the symbolic form.

number

A positive integer.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First

One of a class of interior gateway protocols, described in more detail in the OSPF section of the Proto-

col Overview.

ospf_area

peer

Another router which with implicit or explicit communication is established by a routing protocol.

Peers are usually on a shared network, but not always. This term is mostly used by BGP. Usually

synonymous with neighbor.

port

A UDP or TCP port number. Valid values are from 1 through 65535 inclusive.

preference

A preference is a value between 0 (zero) and 255 used to select between many routes to the same

destination. The route with the best (numerically lowest) preference is as the active route. The active

route is the one installed in the kernel forwarding table and exported to other protocols. Preference

zero is usually reserved for routes to directly attached interfaces. A default preference is assigned to

each source from which GateD receives routes. (See Preference.)

prefix

A contiguous mask covering the most signiﬁcant bits of an address. The preﬁx length speciﬁes how

many bits are covered.

QoS

quality of service

The OSI equivalent of TOS.

RIP

Routing Information Protocol

One of a class of interior gateway protocols, described in more detail in the RIP section of the Protocol

Overview.

router id

A 32-bit number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol. This number uniquely identiﬁes

the router within the autonomous system.
