[Xorp-hackers] Xorp-rip strange error !!

Please send your configuration (the router that was failing), and a
copy of all XORP log messages. You don't have to CC the list with
all that info.

You should use a sheet of paper and a pencil, and then "traceroute"
to each IP address in your testbed.
The first two to calculate by hand what the routing paths should be,
and traceroute to verify that the paths are indeed correct.
And, of course, don't forget "netstat -rn" to view the routes
installed in the kernel.


BTW, how many people share this email account, because I have the
feeling it is more than one person.
You may want to read some of the recent emails to xorp-hackers and
xorp-users, because it may be that RIP itself is not the best choice
for your project. The archives are:
