Status

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:
