The following is an explanation of how to accomplish setting up a path of
communication between two RNET Hosts. Some of you may have already figured this
out... now you have the definitive answer.Consider this; You have two RNET
Hosts, host A and host B. Both hosts wish to communicate with each other. Since
both used un-advertised IP addresses, this seems impossible. The solution is to
setup a route path between them so that the routers between them will forward
packets destined for each of the two hosts. The operator of host A must contact
the operator of host B through some other means of communication. The operator
of host A need only acquire the, advertised, IP address of host B's gateway.
Once this is done, host A sends an RNET Route Request specifying the host B's
address as the target address and directs this request to the gateway of host
B. The result is that all the routers in between host A and host B will have
setup an RNET Route entry for host A as the RNET Host and with host B as the
Target Host. At this point either host may initiate contact with the other as
the routers between them will know where to forward their packet(s).I hope this
clears up any confusion or misunderstanding (or lack thereof.)If you have any
suggestions or comments, please feel free to email me directly at
