Hello Alex ... no an octet is 8 bits long and the term is used to describe the portions of an IP address or subnet mask... with IPv4 the address length is 4 octets long i.e. 255.255.255.255. this term is used in place of byte which may also be 8bits but byte is used to describe data and octet is used to describe ip addresses Wayne banananetworks.com

PSDU = [variable 0 - 4095 octects] --> so i think is OCTECT = BYTE ?????? or 4095 l = 2125 bits = (4 x 83) + (0 x 82) + (9 x 81) +(5 x 80) = 2048 + 0 +72 +5 = 2125 = 2125 bits SORRY TO WASTE UR TIME, BUT IAN'T FAMILIAR with the term! thanks ALex --------------------------------- Yahoo!
