Frank, Thanks for the response, but I think I clouded my question with my convoluted wording.. >> > >> > What's the problem with nodes not decrementing TTLs, given that >> > (as far as I can tell) the same end to end effect will be the >> > result...

My question was intended to be comparative, viz. the difference between a CSR's lack of TTL decrementing and NHRP's equivalent inability to decrement TTL. Seems if the problem is a non-problem for one approach it is also a non-problem for the other. Or vice-versa. cheers, gja _________________________________________________________________________ Grenville Armitage http://gump.bellcore.com:8000/~gja/home.html On the Internet, I AM a dog.
