[comp.dcom.lans] MAC Level Bridges

hays@apollo.uucp (John Hays) (07/19/87)

Hi,

I am looking into MAC (Media Access Control?) Level Bridges for connecting
Ethernets.  I have a need to allow multiple protocols pass through a bridge
(i.e. TPC/IP, DECNET, XNS, ...) which hopefully will at least filter out
packets destined to the local Ethernet.

I am told that MAC level bridges will do this ... however I am new to the
game and am looking to the net for advice, recommendations, and education.

Thanks,

John D. Hays, Consultant

P.S. I rarely see summaries of responses so will not guarentee the same,
however if I get many private messages I will try to summarize.
