IBM TR = IEEE 802.5 is at the physical level (level 1) of the reference model. You can run any protocol you want at levels 2-up, including Novell. Walt Haas haas@cs.utah.edu

Netware, and most other protocols that I have seen use LLC 802.2 and some well known SAP hung off of 802.2. I think however the question you are asking is what is the "common" name of the protocol that runs on IBM LAN equipment. It is commonly referred to as NETBEUI and provides 802.2 LLC class 1 and class 2 services. In addition, there is an IBM NETBIOS protocol which makes use of the LLC services. Larry Backman .

That was the first available protocol from IBM running on top of 802.2 LLC. It is an extension of the Sytek proprietary protocols running on the original PC/Net adapter which introduced the world to NetBios. IBM really wants the world to adopt LU6.2 as their transport-and-above-layers protocol suite. That's available from IBM as APPC and it runs on top of 802.2 LLC also. Jim McCrae
