Re: ax25 route question.

Hi John,

I did not see any reply to your question.
Personnally I don't know if the example you gave is correct and would work.
But you may have perfomed some tests already ?
I would say that, as far as AX25 routing is concerned, there are a number of possibilities, using higher level routing 
facilities, such as node, flexnet or FPAC (based on ROSE network protocol).
I am more familiar with ROSE/FPAC that uses a very efficient routing algorithm and white pages at the cost of only three 
more bytes per AX25 frames.
You could find some documentation about FPAC here
