The Routing Table Maintenance Protocol (RTMP) provides AppleTalk internet routers with a means of managing routing tables used to determine how to forward a datagram from one socket to another across an internet based on the datagram's destination network number. The RTMP implementation on a router maintains a table called a routing table that specifies the shortest path to each possible destination network number. The AppleTalk protocol software in a workstation (that is, a node other than a router) contains only a small part of RTMP, called the RTMP stub, that DDP uses to determine the network number (or range of network numbers) of the network cable to which the node is connected and to determine the network number and node ID of one router on that network cable.
