When IPX DEMAND RIP is used with updates from the remote device that are large and fragmented, it causes the packets to be queued before they can be re-assembled and processed, which fills up the receiving queue. If you have such a situation, it is best to use IPX static routes, or use the default IPX gateway and IPX SAP Helper features as opposed to DEMAND RIP updates.
