I have done this from a SIMH instance that is set as a routing node. My own
user mode router does not implement these events.

Subject: [HECnet] Re: HECnet mapper -- request to backbone node operators
A clarification: I'm looking for an event source for each area. Even if
your
area
only has a single connection to other areas, it's
useful to have an event
source
there. The reason is that change of node reachability
is visible only to
routers
in the area, and this is one of the events I'm
looking for.

Gentlepeople,
I've added a new feature to the HECnet mapper
(http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map/) to listen for topology change and do incremental updates of the map as these happen.
You can see this
in
the current mapper display, which will show "Last
incremental change" in
the
map title block if there has been any incremental
change since the last
full
update.

at least one router in each area. A good choice would
be the main
backbone
area router in each area; better still all the
backbone area routers if
there are
several.
