Thoughts on Address Resolution for Dual MAC FDDI Networks  1. Abstract In this document, an idea is submitted how IP and ARP can be used on in homogeneous FDDI networks (FDDI networks with dual MAC and single MAC stations) by introducing a new protocol layer in the protocol suite of the dual MAC stations. Thus two dual […]

A Proposed Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams over FDDI Networks (RFC 1188) Introduction The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) specifications define a family of standards for Local Area Networks (LANs) that provides the Physical Layer and Media Access Control Sublayer of the Data Link Layer as defined by the ISO Open System Interconnection […]

Compressing TCP/IP Headers for Low-Speed Serial Links  (Error Handling) RFC 1144 Error handling Error detection In the author’s experience, dial-up connections are particularly prone to data errors. These errors interact with compression in two different ways: First is the local effect of an error in a compressed packet. All error detection is based on redundancy yet […]

Compressing TCP/IP Headers for Low-Speed Serial Links  (RFC 1144) 1 Introduction As increasingly powerful computers find their way into people’s homes, there is growing interest in extending Internet connectivity to those computers. Unfortunately, this extension exposes some complex problems in link-level framing, address assignment, routing, authentication, and performance. As of this writing, there is active […]
