    <para>
    <command>rdisc</command> implements client side of the ICMP
    Internet Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP).
    <command>rdisc</command> is invoked at boot time to populate the
    network routing tables with default routes.</para>
    <para>
    <command>rdisc</command> listens on the ALL_HOSTS (224.0.0.1)
    multicast address (or
    <emphasis remap="I">receive_address</emphasis> if it is provided)
    for ROUTER_ADVERTISE messages from routers. The received
    messages are handled by first ignoring those listed router
    addresses with which the host does not share a network. Among
    the remaining addresses the ones with the highest preference
    are selected as default routers and a default route is entered
    in the kernel routing table for each one of them.</para>
    <para>Optionally,
    <command>rdisc</command> can avoid waiting for routers to
    announce themselves by sending out a few ROUTER_SOLICITATION
    messages to the ALL_ROUTERS (224.0.0.2) multicast address (or
    <emphasis remap="I">send_address</emphasis> if it is provided)
    when it is started.</para>
    <para>A timer is associated with each router address and the
    address will no longer be considered for inclusion in the
    routing tables if the timer expires before a new
    <emphasis remap="B">advertise</emphasis> message is received
    from the router. The address will also be excluded from
    consideration if the received
    <emphasis remap="B">advertise</emphasis> message has a
    preference of maximum negative.</para>
    <para>Server side of router discovery protocol is supported by
    Cisco IOS and by any more or less complete UNIX routing daemon,
    for example
    <emphasis remap="B">gated</emphasis>. If compiled with
    ENABLE_RDISC_SERVER, <command>rdisc</command> can act as
    responder.</para>
