RTE. The specified next hop applies to each subsequent routing table entry in<br />

the advertisement. The format of an RTE used to specify the next hop is shown<br />

in Figure 5-12.<br />

Figure 5-12 Next Hop route table entry (RTE)<br />

The next hop RTE is identified by a value of 0x’FF’ in the metric field. This<br />

reserved value is outside the valid range of metrics.<br />

The use of RTEs <strong>and</strong> next hop RTEs is shown in Figure 5-13.<br />

Used to distinguish a<br />

In this example, the first three routing entries do not have a corresponding next<br />

hop RTE. The address prefixes specified by these entries will be routed through<br />

the advertising router. The prefixes included in routing entries 4 <strong>and</strong> 5 will route<br />

through the next hop address specified in the next hop RTE A. The prefix<br />

included in routing entry 6 will route through the next hop address specified in the<br />

next hop RTE B.<br />
