. Configured and Learning Router Forwarding Rules, Part 2
As with configured routers, learning routers sometimes modify source addresses
for service-pin messages to help prevent message loops.
Learning routers, in general, are less efficient in using channel bandwidth
because they always forward all messages with group destination addresses.
Their advantage is simplified installation because the installation tool does not
need to know the network topology to configure the router.
Loop Topology
A
looping topology
is a network topology that has the potential for message
loops
.
A loop is a path through two or more routers that forwards a message from a
channel to itself. For example,
Figure 6
on page 12 shows a looping topology
with two channels and two routers. A message on channel A could be forwarded
