           Internet Protocol on Network Systems HYPERchannel
                         Protocol Specification

STATUS OF THIS MEMO

   The intent of this document is to provide a complete discussion of
   the protocols and techniques used to embed DoD standard Internet
   Protocol datagrams (and its associated higher level protocols) on
   Network Systems Corporation's HYPERchannel [1] equipment.
   Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

   This document is intended for network planners and implementors who
   are already familiar with the TCP/IP protocol suite and the
   techniques used to carry TCP/IP traffic on common networks such as
   the DDN or Ethernet.  No great familiarity with NSC products is
   assumed; an appendix is devoted to a review of NSC technologies and
   protocols.

   At the time of this first RFC edition, the contents of this document
   has already been reviewed by about a dozen vendors and users active
   in the use of TCP/IP on HYPERchannel media.  Comments and suggestions
   are still welcome (and implementable,) however.

   Any comments or questions on this specification may be directed to:
