What does a 2 value in the hardware field of ARP (ar_hrd) represent? Does anyone have a list of the different values that are valid for the hardware field and the types of hardware they correspond to?

Check the most recent version of the Assigned Numbers RFC (1010, I think). And the winner is...3Mb/sec ethernet... -- - john romkey ...harvard!spdcc!kaos!romkey romkey@kaos.uucp romkey@xx.lcs.mit.edu

The following is extracted from rfc1010: ADDRESS RESOLUTION PROTOCOL PARAMETERS The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) specified in RFC 826 [64] has several parameters. The assigned values for these parameters are listed here. Assignments: Operation Code (op) 1 REQUEST 2 REPLY Hardware Type (hrd) Type Description References ---- ----------- ---------- 1 Ethernet (10Mb) [JBP] 2 Experimental Ethernet (3Mb) [JBP] 3 Amateur Radio AX.25 [PXK] 4 Proteon ProNET Token Ring [JBP] 5 Chaos [GXP] 6 IEEE 802 Networks [JBP] 7 ARCNET [JBP] Protocol Type (pro) Use the same codes as listed in the section called "Ethernet Numbers of Interest" (all hardware types use this code set for the protocol type). -- Michael A.

I don't believe that this is true. I know that Proteon uses a
different set of codes from the Ethernet list I sent out a while ago.

Does this make Proteon non-standard? I was quoting from rfc1010, and I must admit some confusion over the status of rfc's, I know that rfc stands for Request For Comment, but everyone seems to treat them as standards, so what are they? Standards or Drafts of proposed standards, and if they are drafts what are the final standards (if any exist) called? -- Michael A. Thompson, Dept.
