6-8 CHAPTER 6: ROUTING WITH APPLETALK
Figure 6-3 A Simple AppleTalk Network
You can view the AppleTalk routing tables in your network through the
Administration Console.
The AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP). AppleTalk nodes use the AEP to send
datagrams to other nodes in the network. The AEP causes the destination
node to return, or echo, the datagram to the sending node. This protocol
can determine whether a node is accessible before any sessions are started,
and can enable users to estimate the round-trip delay time between two
nodes.
