Description / Abstract:
This American National Standard specifies a common method for encapsulating ISO/IEC 8802- 2 (IEEE Std 802.2) Logical Link Control Protocol Data Units (PDU) on HIPPI.
Characteristics of HIPPI-LE include:
– Encapsulation of arbitrary Protocol Data Units that conform to ISO/IEC 8802-2 (IEEE Std 802.2) Logical Link Control;
– Provision for 48-bit source and destination addresses conforming to IEEE 802.1a;
– Provision for eight forwarding classes to distinguish, for example, among ordinary data PDUs, PDUs for services that require bandwidth guarantees such as packet video, etc.
