[comp.sys.apollo] DDS Ethernet packet type nos. wanted

Can anybody tell me the Ethernet packet type numbers that
DDS uses? I remember seeing this info in some manual a while
ago, but now that I need it, I can't find it again.

We have two different Domain on Ethernet networks that will
soon be connected to a common broadband network, which we want
to keep the DDS services seperate. The basebands will be connected
to the broadband thru Honeywell IB bridges. So by setting filters
for the DDS packets, the networks can trade IP packets but not
DDS packets. Because of a need to provide DDS service thru the
broadband to a remote Apollo node, I can't put a gateway inbetween
them. Thus the need to filer DDS packets at the other bridge.

Thanks,
Dave Funk

from the list I'm looking at is looks like Apollo was assigned a protocol
type field of "8019".
