- I'm reading an article from the 2/24/92 issue of Communications Week which
- has John Veizades from Apple saying that the IETF AppleTalk/TCP/IP Working
- Group is "firming up a specification for AppleTalk over the Point-to-Point
- protocol". Does anyone have any information about this?
-
- The latest (and hopefully final) version of the specification is up a an
- internet-draft. Here is a copy of the announcement:
-
-
- A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
- directories. This draft is a work item of the
- Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
-
- Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.
-
- Title : The PPP AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP))
- Author(s) : Brad Parker
- Filename : draft-ietf-pppext-appletalk-03.txt
- Pages : 20
-
- The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of
- encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point
- links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and
- proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing
- and configuring different network-layer protocols.
-
- This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuring the
- AppleTalk Protocol over PPP.
