The Elements of IPX Routing

6-13

The SAP broadcasts that servers and routers send are local and, therefore, only received by SAP agents on their connected segments. However, SAP agents periodically broadcast their server information so that all SAP agents on the internetwork have information about all servers that are active on the internetwork.

Server Information Table

A server information table holds information about all the servers on the internetwork. SAP agents use this table to store information received in SAP broadcasts. Figure 6-6 shows an example of a typical server information table.

Server Table
Interface Name		Type	Network	Node	Socket	Hops	Age
1	LPX1102	4	45469f33	00-00-00-00-00-01	451	2	102
1	LPX1103	4	45469f44	00-00-00-00-00-01	451	5	65
2	LPX2001	4	45470001	00-00-00-00-00-01	451	4	33

Figure 6-6 Server Information Table

The server information table provides the following information:

■Interface — Indicates from which interface the information was received

■Server Name — The name of the server

■Server Type — Indicates the type of service provided

■Network Address — The address of the network on which the server resides

■Node Address — The node of the server

■Socket Address — The socket number on which the server will receive service requests

■Hops to Server — The number of intermediate networks that must be passed through to reach the server associated with this entry

■Age of Server — The time since the last update for that server

The server information table is either statically or dynamically generated and updated.
