Hitachi GR2000 manual Model Traffic of Periodic SAP Packets

calculated by the following formula: n ³ 50 (n: number of RIP entries stored).

Example: When n £ 50, 1 packet. When n = 1000 (maximum), 20 packets.

4.10.2.2Model Traffic of Periodic SAP Packets

The number of periodic SAP packets (480 bytes per packet) broadcast at one time calculated by the following formula: n ³ 7 (n: number of SAP entries stored).

Example: When n £ 7, 1 packet. When n = 1000 (maximum), 143 packets.

4.10.2.3Traffic of Periodic RIP and Periodic SAP Packets on Group-Defined Interface

When IPX is defined on an interface where multiple VCs or multiple DLCIs are grouped, periodic RIP and periodic SAP packets are broadcast to all the VCs or DL in the group. Consequently, it is cautioned that an inadvertent addition of IPX definition to an existing grouped interface may cause unnecessary traffic to flow through the interface if the group includes a VC or DLCI not using protocols othe than IP. To avoid such occurrence of unnecessary traffic, it is advised to separate group into two—one comprising VCs or DLCIs to use IPX, and the other not usin
