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:
