Routing Support

TCP/IP supports static and dynamic routing. Whether you use static or dynamic, the routing mechanism is the same: TCP/IP routes a packet by searching its routing table for the most specific route known.

TCP/IP supports multiple equal-cost routes. The routing table can maintain as many equal-cost paths to a particular destination as allowed by the size of the TCP/IP virtual machine. Multiple equal-cost routes can be either defined statically or added dynamically by MPRoute. MPRoute provides at most 16 equal cost routes to each destination. For more information, see the GATEWAY statement Usage Notes dealing with multiple equal-cost routes.
