Internet Protocol on IEEE 802 ---------------------------- (IP-IEEE)
STATUS: Recommended
SPECIFICATION: RFC948 (in DPH)
COMMENTS:
A proposed protocol of two methods of encapsulating Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams on an IEEE 802.3 network. Currently
being revised to be generalized for all 802 networks.
At an ad hoc special session on "IEEE 802 Networks and ARP"
held during the TCP Vendors Workshop (August 1986), an approach
to a consistent way to sent DOD-IP datagrams and other IP
related protocols on 802 networks was developed.
Due to some evolution of the IEEE 802.2 standards and the need
to provide for a standard way to do additional DOD-IP related
protocols (such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)) on IEEE
802 networks, the following new policy is established, which
will replace the current policy (see RFC-990 section on IEEE
802 Numbers of Interest, and RFC-948).
The policy is for DDN and ARPA-Internet community to use IEEE
802.2 encapsulation on 802.3, 802.4, and 802.5 networks by
using the SNAP with an organization code indicating that the
following 16 bits specify the Ethertype code (where IP = 2048
(0800 hex), see RFC-990 section on Ethernet Numbers of
Interest).
Header
...--------+--------+--------+
MAC Header| Length | 802.{3/4/5} MAC
...--------+--------+--------+
+--------+--------+--------+
| Dsap=K1| Ssap=K1| control| 802.2 SAP
+--------+--------+--------+
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
|protocol id or org code =K2| Ether Type | 802.2 SNAP
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
The values of K1 and K2 must be assigned by the IEEE. There is
already assigned a value of K1 that indicates that the 5-octet
RFC991 November 1986
Official ARPA-Internet Protocols
SNAP header follows. We can use this value. There may be a
value of K2 that is already assigned that indicates that the
last two octets of the SNAP header holds the EtherType. If so
we may be able to use this value.
The total length of the SAP Header and the SNAP header is
8-octets, making the 802.2 protocol overhead come out on a nice
octet boundary.
K1 is 170. The IEEE like to talk about things in bit
transmission order and specifies this value as 01010101. In
big-endian order, as used in Internet specifications, this
becomes 10101010 binary, or AA hex, or 170 decimal.
We believe that K2 is 0 (zero). This must be further
investigated, but as an interim measure use K2 = 0.

Reliable Asynchronous Transfer Protocol --------------------- (RATP)
STATUS: Experimental
SPECIFICATION: RFC916
COMMENTS:
This paper specifies a protocol which allows two programs to
reliably communicate over a communication link. It ensures
that the data entering one end of the link if received arrives
at the other end intact and unaltered. This proposed protocol
is designed to operate over a full duplex point-to-point
connection. It contains some features which tailor it to the
RS-232 links now in current use.

protocol with the contact.
