Internet Protocol on IEEE 802 ---------------------------- (IP-IEEE)
STATUS: Recommended
SPECIFICATION: see comments
COMMENTS:
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 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-1010 section on Ethernet Numbers of Interest).
Header
...--------+--------+--------+
MAC Header| Length | 802.{3/4/5} MAC
...--------+--------+--------+
+--------+--------+--------+
| Dsap=K1| Ssap=K1| control| 802.2 SAP
+--------+--------+--------+
RFC1011 - Official Internet Protocols May 1987
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
|protocol id or org code =K2| Ether Type | 802.2 SNAP
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
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
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.
K2 is 0 (zero).
Note: The method described in RFC948 (in DPH) is no longer to
be used.

ISO and CCITT PROTOCOLS
The International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International
Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) are defining a
set of protocols that may be of interest to the Internet community.
Some of these have been published as RFCs for information purposes.
This section lists these protocols.
End System to Intermediate System Routing Exchange Protocol --------
STATUS:
SPECIFICATION: RFC995
COMMENTS:
This protocol is one of a set of International Standards
produced to facilitate the interconnection of open systems.
The set of standards covers the services and protocols required
to achieve such interconnection. This protocol is positioned
with respect to other related standards by the layers defined
in the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (ISO
7498) and by the structure defined in the Internal Organization
of the Network Layer (DIS 8648). In particular, it is a
protocol of the Network Layer. This protocol permits End
Systems and Intermediate Systems to exchange configuration and
routing information to facilitate the operation of the routing
and relaying functions of the Network Layer.

ISO Transport Services on Top of the TCP ---------------------------
STATUS:
SPECIFICATION: RFC1006
COMMENTS:
This memo describes a proposed protocol standard for the
Internet community. The CCITT and the ISO have defined various
session, presentation, and application recommendations which
have been adopted by the international community and numerous
vendors. To the largest extent possible, it is desirable to
offer these higher level services directly to the Internet,
without disrupting existing facilities. This permits users to
develop expertise with ISO and CCITT applications which
previously were not available in the Internet. The intention
is that hosts within the Internet that choose to implement ISO
TSAP services on top of the TCP be expected to adopt and
implement this standard. Suggestions for improvement are
encouraged.

protocol with the contact.
