A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Tunneling IPX Traffic through IP Networks
Author(s) : Don Provan
Filename : draft-provan-ipxtunneling-01.txt
Internet Packet eXchange protocol (IPX) is the internetwork protocol
used by Novell's NetWare protocol suite. For the purposes of this
paper, IPX is functionally equivalent to the Internet Datagram
Protocol (IDP) from the Xerox Network Systems (XNS) protocol suite.
This draft specifies a method of encapsulating IPX datagrams within
UDP packets so that IPX traffic can travel across an IP internet.
This draft allows an IPX implementation to view an IP internet as a
single IPX network. An implementation of this draft will encapsulate
IPX datagrams in UDP packets in the same way any hardware
implementation might encapsulate IPX datagrams in that hardware's
frames. IPX networks can be connected thusly accrossinternets that
carry only IP traffic.
