[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Revising IP on ARCNET

donp@XLNVAX.NOVELL.COM (don provan) (08/31/90)

I'm revising RFC-1051, which describes how to send IP over ARCNET, and
i'd like to hear from anyone who would be interested in that topic.

In a nut shell, RFC-1051 describes a datalink protocol for ARCNET
which is incompatible with the more common datalink protocol used with
other internetwork protocols, such as Novell's IPX.  In order for IP
to be transported across ARCNET networks used by other protocols, the
encapsulation technique must be changed.
