SUMMARY
A new, configurable TCP/IP parameter has been added to the Windows NT
Registry. In order to use the new parameter, you must obtain a new
Tcpip.sys driver. This driver will be released in Service Pack 5, but can
be obtained in the meantime by contacting Microsoft Product Support.
MORE INFORMATION
In a Token Ring network, when an all-routes broadcast is sent, a copy of
the broadcast will be delivered to each of the other rings by each
available path. This will generally result in multiple copies being
delivered to a given ring. A system responding to the broadcast will
respond to each of the packets it receives, and the routing information
added to each response will cause it to follow the same route back to the
original broadcaster, who will receive multiple responses, each via a
different route. The broadcaster is then free to choose which route to use
for future communications. Most implementations choose the first response.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
