5535.0. "subnet masks on V4.0" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (John Talatinian) Tue May 27 1997 10:54

Hi,

  I have a customer who has V4.0 installed on their V6.1 OpenVMS system
(ALPHA). 
They are having a problem with subnet masks that are not byte-aligned.  The
messages
broadcast that way are bad and never seen by receivers across the network.

As an example of the failure, they have a node 160.101.95.109 with a subnet
mask of
255.255.255.0.  It works fine.  If they try to isolate the traffic to the
95-net
by using a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0, it does not work.  The same mask
works fine on
their other non-VMS system (HPUX.  Is this a problem?  Has anyone seen this?

thanks
