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.
router_id
An IP address used as unique identifier assigned to represent a specific router. This is usually the
address of an attached interface.
RIB
routing information base
routing database
routing table
The repository of all of the GateD retained routing information, used to make decisions and as a
source for routing information which is propagated.
simplex
An interface may be marked as simplex either by the kernel, or by interface configuration. A simplex
interface is an interface on a broadcast media that is not capable of receiving packets it broadcasts.
GateD takes advantage of interfaces that are capable of receiving their own broadcast packets to mon-
itor whether an interface appears to be functioning properly.
time
A time value, usually a time interval. It may be specified in any one of the following forms:
number A non-negative decimal number of seconds. For example, 27, 60 or
3600.
number:number A non-negative decimal number of minutes followed by a seconds
value in the range of zero to 59 inclusive. For example, 0:27, 1:00
or 60:00.
number:number:number A non-negative decimal number of hours followed by a minutes value
in the range of zero to 59 inclusive followed by a seconds value in the
range of zero to 59 inclusive. For example, 0:00:27, 0:01:00 or
1:00:00.
time to live
ttl The Time To Live (TTL) of an IP packet. Valid values are from one (1) through 255 inclusive.
TOS
type of service
The type of service is for internet service quality selection. The type of service is specified along the
abstract parameters precedence, delay, throughput, reliability, and cost. These abstract parameters
are to be mapped into the actual service parameters of the particular networks the datagram
traverses. The vast majority of IP traffic today uses the default type of service.
WARNINGS
gated contains provisions for BGP protocol, but it is not officially supported by HP at the present time.
The route aggregation and generation statements which generate a more general route from compressing
the specific routes through the explicit configuration are not supported in this release.
