NRR

Command

NRR -- Netrom Record Route

Synopsis

NRR <nodecall | nodealias>

Description

This command sends a "record route" packet to the specified netrom target system. It the target is NRR-capable (e.g. Xrouter, Xnet, Flexnet?), the packet is returned otherwise the packet is ignored by the target.

Each NRR-capable router along the path inserts its own callsign into the packet, and these are displayed when the reply is received. Non-capable systems are shown by a question mark "?". The target is marked by a "*" and both the outgoing and return routes are displayed because they may differ.

Example

nrr gb7gc

G8PZT:KIDDER} Request sent
Route reply:  G8PZT ? GB7GC* ? G8PZT

Limitations

Targets which are not NRR-capable (e.g. BPQ, TheNet, FPAC, LinuxNode, JNOS, TNOS) will not respond to probes.

As of 23/1/2013, BPQ32 systems do NOT respond to NRR requests, although they do correctly handle in-transit NRR traffic.
