876.0. "IDMP Dynamic Routing Protocol?" by USCTR1::canb22.nio.dec.com::Ascher (yadda) Tue May 27 1997 12:39

Can anybody enlighten me on IDMP (ICMP Dynamic Routing Prococol or something like that). 
My customer insists that this protocol makes it possible for two systems which are 
exchanging traffic between network addresses nodeAnetA and nodeBneta to automatically 
continue to exchange that traffic over netB if netA is lost (due to cable or nic 
problems). He also claims that our competition, of course, supports this protocol now.

Anybody heard of anything like this? got any idea what he might be hearing? any idea why 
this is impossible?

thanks,
