Java's RIPTable.check marks an expired route only at the router's next
beacon, up to some 35 s late. The engine schedules each router's first
expiry, marks the route with 16 hops at that time and sends its table
at once, as after any change (better than Java where Java only samples,
decided 01.10.2026). ripJava's expire story is compared up to the
expiry and then checks that R2 marks the route at its time and R1 a
cable later.

The engine keeps Java's packet capture (capture.ts): per network card
every frame it sent (when it leaves on the cable) or received (also one
for another card), once, with time and number; switches log nothing;
frames the packet loss dropped are kept apart; the capture outlives a
stop and a new start, as in Java, until clearCapture. Per port instead
of per MAC, at most 10,000 frames a card.
expectSameCaptures compares each card's capture with Java's list of that
card in the ARP, WLAN, DNS, TCP, NAT, RIP and single-client DHCP runs.
It found that ScenarioNetwork ignored a switch's learning time (Java ran
300 s, the core the scenarios' 5 s); the oracle sets it now, and the TCP
and DHCP runs are recorded again. A core test found that a new start
numbers frames from 1 again and the capture took them as seen.

RipRun runs rip-chain's three routers in Java FILIUS, each router's random
set by reflection to the core's ripSeed, and writes the frames, every
change of each RIP table and the calls. converge: the tables fill, a ping
at 45 s. expire: R3 falls silent at 10 s; R2 marks its network 16 hops only
at its own next beacon, R1 passes it on at once, the ping gets ICMP 3/0.
Both match: per sending card the same messages at the same times, every
table through the same states. The first 5 s are compared by the state the
tables reach, since Java's routers start one after the other.
Measured on the JDK: Java's pause divides nextFloat() by 3 in float; the
core does too now (a millisecond off in one draw of about 10,000 before).
Scenarios name their RIP routers in the new field rip.
