This section introduces NetWare® Link Services ProtocolTM (NLSPTM ) software, Novell's link state routing protocol for Internetwork Packet ExchangeTM (IPXTM) internetworks.
NOTE: NetWare 4.1 and IPX Upgrade for NetWare Servers provide NLSP and RIP/SAP routing only for LAN-based NetWare servers. If you want to run NLSP or RIP/SAP over a WAN connection, you must use NetWare MultiProtocol RouterTM 3.x software, Novell® Internet Access Server 4.x software, or a third-party product that supports NLSP.
