Because of concern that the rip sender might be sending
the pseudo-RIP packets to gateways faster than they can
receive them, I have changed the sending order.
There are currently 26 packets per gateway per transmission.
Instead of sending all packets to a gateway, then sending
them to the next gateway, and so on, now each packet is
sent to each individual gateway before the next packet is
generated and sent.
This has the effect of inserting a few milliseconds delay
between consecutive packets being sent to any one gateway,
which should give the receiving process more time to handle
the transmission.
The same total data is sent, so nobody should miss out on
any routes.
Thanks to Rob, PE1CHL for suggesting this technique.
