Abstract
This RFC describes use of Data Link Switching over TCP/IP. The RFC is
being distributed to members of the Internet community in order to
solicit their reactions to the proposals contained in it. While the
issues discussed may not be directly relevant to the research
problems of the Internet, they may be interesting to a number of
researchers and Implementers.
This RFC was created as a joint effort of the Advanced Peer-to-Peer
Networking (APPN) Implementers Workshop (AIW) Data Link Switching
(DLSw) Related Interest Group (RIG). The APPN Implementers Workshop
is a group sponsored by IBM and consists of representatives of member
companies implementing current and future IBM Networking
interoperable products. The DLSw Related Interest Group was formed in
this forum in order to produce a single version of the Switch to
Switch Protocol (SSP) which could be implemented by all vendors,
which would fix documentation problems with the existing RFC 1434,
and which would enhance and evolve the protocol to add new functions
and features.
This document is based on RFC 1434. This document contains
significant changes to RFC 1434 and therefore obsoletes that
document.
Any questions or comments relative to the contents of this RFC should
be sent to the following Internet address:
aiw-dlsw@networking.raleigh.ibm.com.
NOTE 1: This is a widely subscribed mailing list and messages sent to
this address will be sent to all members of the DLSw mailing list.
