each interface and then enters a loop, listening for REQUEST and
RESPONSE packets from other hosts. When a REQUEST packet is
received, routed formulates a reply based on the information main-
tained in its internal tables. The generated RESPONSE packet
contains a list of known routes. Any RESPONSE packets received
are used to update the routing tables as appropriate.

internal tables, updates the kernel routing table, and generates a
RESPONSE packet reflecting these changes to all directly
connected hosts and networks.
