This problem is having an adverse effect upon certain gateways interchanging routing information. Although the full impact is not yet known, fault isolation messages have indicated that some routing entries are not being placed into the table for subsequent distribution. The table is constructed in a dynamic fashion which precludes the forecasting of denied entries at this time. An interim solution of expanding the table sizes is being developed and is targeted for implementation on or before 1 Dec 90. Those gateway users experiencing difficulties should contact the CONUS MILNET Trouble Desk at 1-800-451-7413, COMCL (202) 486-1982, or DSN 222-5726 for assistance. DCA/DoD Point of Contact is Mr. Wayne Grindle at (703) 692-6068 or DSN 222-6068.
