Patch Name:  PHNE_1525

Patch Description: Problem where gated does not receive large EGP update pkts.

gated would not receive any EGP update packets that were large (over approx.
2048 bytes). The host would thus not be able to add/delete or update
various routes in its routing table. 8.0 versions of gated had small socket
buffers for EGP by oversight, and EGP packets over 2048 bytes would be
dropped. Typically only update packets would get to this size. The buffers
have been increased to current implementations (approx. 32K).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_1525).

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update
   a system).
2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change
   Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item".
3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination"
   window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or
   "Select Item".
4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHNE_1525.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_1525.updt
   has been placed).  Note: You must enter the complete path name.
5) Press "Done".
6) From here on follow the standard directions for update.

The customized script that update runs will move the original software
to /system/PHNE_1525/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHNE_1525.text file to /system/PHNE_1525 to be retained for
future reference.

If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape
drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive.  As an example the
following will create a copy of the patch that update can read:
dd if=PHNE_1525.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
