Here the theory :
When RIP was made by novell (i guess, as per my knowledge). There was not so
much internetwork that spans the whole global. So the hope 16 was very
much. But as the network grow IPX RIP was not enough to handle. Network were
grow beyond 16 hops. So it was a need for any other protocol like link-state
protcol so NLSP was made to deal with this. But still there was a problem
that Novell Servers and its MRP ... (i guess this was the name of the novell
router in a PC) were not compatible with this new protocol. So NLSP was
design so that it can act as a translator. So it makes NLSP to understand
IPX RIP and IPX SAP from lan servers.
Now the good news for novell was that it can span very large ... as being
RIP and SAP on lans and NLSP on internetwork.
And RIP and SAP are now translated into NLSP packet and get de-translated
into RIP where required.
ipx nlsp rip off and
no network xxx
are totally different stuff.
I guess i am right. Please correct me if i am wrong.
