Un-routable Protocols / Packets

Hello

Sorry this doesn't exactly have anything to do with Windows Server directly
but I cannot find any suitable newsgroup for this particular query ...

Can anyone tell me what network protocols & packets are non routable? as I'm
having some problems with network indexing software over a VLAN.

Thanks
Craig

What protocol is it using? The majority of protocols can be routed.

Some non-routable protocols: netbeui and lat

What's LAT?

Phil

The Digital Equipment Corporation (Digital) Local Area Transport (LAT)
protocol is the one used most often to connect to Digital hosts. LAT is a
Digital-proprietary protocol. The LAT protocol allows a user to establish a
LAT connection to a host at another site, then pass the keystrokes from one
system to the other. A user can establish a LAT connection through the
router to a LAT host simply by entering the host name.
Unlike the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), LAT was
designed to be used on local-area networks (LANs) and it cannot be routed
because it does not have a routing layer.

Ah, ok.
I have an old DEC VMS Vax at home that I haven't quite figured out how to
get it cabled up,...if I ever get it figured out and assembled maybe I'll
run into that.
