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. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and password "guest".
