How does a Cisco router process a StreetTalk broadcast?
A. A zero-hop StreetTalk broadcast is always propagated if it passes the reverse path test. This test attempts to insure that a broadcast always travels away from the source and drops those that take a path back towards the source. All StreetTalk broadcasts MUST be propagated so that the consistency of the distributed StreetTalk database is maintained across the routers. All other zero-hop broadcasts are propagated only if the “serverless” or “propagate” commands have been used.
