3.1.5.1.2 Receiving a GetBackupListResponse Frame

  • Article

After the local master browser server responds with a list of backup browser servers, the client SHOULD choose an implementation-defined number of servers from within the response by using an implementation-dependent algorithm, and then insert a new entry into BackupBrowserServerTable for the NetBIOS name MachineGroupNameInProgress with the list of backup browser servers selected.<29>

When a GetBackupListResponse frame is received, the corresponding timer MUST be stopped. Because a client can only have a single GetBackupListRequest pending, it needs only one timer.
