Due to some evolution of the IEEE 802.2 standards and the need to provide for a standard way to do additional DOD-IP related protocols (such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)) on IEEE 802 networks, the following new policy is established, which will replace the current policy (see RFC-990 section on IEEE 802 Numbers of Interest, and RFC-948). The policy is for DDN and Internet community to use IEEE 802.2 encapsulation on 802.3, 802.4, and 802.5 networks by using the SNAP with an organization code indicating that the following 16 bits specify the Ethertype code (where IP = 2048 (0800 hex), see RFC-1010 section on Ethernet Numbers of Interest). Header ...--------+--------+--------+ MAC Header| Length | 802.{3/4/5} MAC ...--------+--------+--------+ +--------+--------+--------+ | Dsap=K1| Ssap=K1| control| 802.2 SAP +--------+--------+--------+ Reynolds & Postel [Page 42] RFC 1011 - Official Internet Protocols May 1987 +--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+ |protocol id or org code =K2| Ether Type | 802.2 SNAP +--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+ The total length of the SAP Header and the SNAP header is 8-octets, making the 802.2 protocol overhead come out on a nice boundary. K1 is 170. The IEEE like to talk about things in bit transmission order and specifies this value as 01010101. In big-endian order, as used in Internet specifications, this becomes 10101010 binary, or AA hex, or 170 decimal. K2 is 0 (zero). Note: The method described in RFC 948 (in DPH) is no longer to be used.

Some of these have been published as RFCs for information purposes. This section lists these protocols. End System to Intermediate System Routing Exchange Protocol -------- STATUS: SPECIFICATION: RFC 995 COMMENTS: This protocol is one of a set of International Standards produced to facilitate the interconnection of open systems. The set of standards covers the services and protocols required to achieve such interconnection. This protocol is positioned with respect to other related standards by the layers defined in the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (ISO 7498) and by the structure defined in the Internal Organization of the Network Layer (DIS 8648). In particular, it is a protocol of the Network Layer. This protocol permits End Systems and Intermediate Systems to exchange configuration and routing information to facilitate the operation of the routing and relaying functions of the Network Layer.

The set of standards covers the services and protocols required to achieve such interconnection. This Reynolds & Postel [Page 48] RFC 1011 - Official Internet Protocols May 1987 Protocol Standard is positioned with respect to other related standards by the layers defined in the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (ISO 7498). In particular, it is a protocol of the Network Layer. This Protocol may be used between network-entities in end systems or in Network Layer relay systems (or both). It provides the Connectionless-mode Network Service as defined in Addendum 1 to the Network Service Definition Covering Connectionless-mode Transmission (ISO 8348/AD1).

This is a draft solution to one of the problems inherent in the use of "ISO-grams" in the DoD Internet. Related issues will be discussed in subsequent RFCs. This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

OTHER REFERENCES: RFC 892 DEPENDENCIES: CONTACT: ISO Reynolds & Postel [Page 50] RFC 1011 - Official Internet Protocols May 1987 ISO Transport Services on Top of the TCP --------------------------- STATUS: SPECIFICATION: RFC 1006 COMMENTS: This memo describes a proposed protocol standard for the Internet community. The CCITT and the ISO have defined various session, presentation, and application recommendations which have been adopted by the international community and numerous vendors. To the largest extent possible, it is desirable to offer these higher level services directly to the Internet, without disrupting existing facilities. This permits users to develop expertise with ISO and CCITT applications which previously were not available in the Internet. The intention is that hosts within the Internet that choose to implement ISO TSAP services on top of the TCP be expected to adopt and implement this standard. Suggestions for improvement are encouraged. Please discuss any plans for implementation or use of this protocol with the contact.
