As long as they're destinguished on frame boundaries in some way, you don't really need any encapsulation at all. That's similar to the interface that SLIP used. > In any case, it sounds like more research into what the actual framing > format used is, is required. Yep. If it really is just bare IPv4 frames, then GLDv3 will probably be a bit of a challenge. I don't think that "faking" Ethernet framing is a great solution, but it's actually what the current sppp does with a hand-crafted DLPI driver. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
