Figure 1-6. Translation of a DECnet Phase IV Data Packet to a Phase V CLNP Packet
1.
A Phase IV host sends a data packet to a Phase V end node. The Phase IV host
routes the packet to a router running both Phase IV and Phase V.
2.
Because the router has Phase IV configured, it routes the Phase IV data packet
to the next router on the network, which also has Phase IV configured.
3.
This router routes the Phase IV data packet to the next router on the network,
which has both Phase IV and Phase V configured.
4.
Because the destination address of the packet is a Phase V end node, the
router maps the address to a Phase V address, and then looks it up in the Phase
V forwarding tables. The router then translates the source address and packet
header.
5.
The router then forwards the packet to the Phase V end node.
Advertising Routes
With the DECnet IV to V Transition feature enabled, the only routing information
exchanged between DECnet Phase IV and Phase V is end node addresses.
The Phase IV router advertises Phase V end nodes in Level 1 topology update
packets. The DECnet Phase V router can reside in only one area. Therefore, the
Phase V router advertises Phase IV end nodes in Level 1 link state packets only
for the areas in common between Phase IV and Phase V.
