The two are logically independent. The IEEE (I assume you're referring to the 802 specifications, not The Open Group standards) defines a few particular link layers, such as Ethernet, but doesn't define them all. More importantly, it's just incorrect to say that DLPI is defined in terms of what any one link layer (even Ethernet) may or may not do. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 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]
