+
+ Internet Protocol Encapsulation of AX.25 Frames
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+ This memo describes a method for the encapsulation of AX.25 (the
+ Amateur Packet-Radio Link-Layer Protocol) frames within IP packets.
+ This technique is an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
+ community. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
+ Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
+ Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
+ Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+The AX.25 Amateur Packet-Radio Link-Layer Protocol
+
+ The AX.25 Amateur Packet-Radio Link-Layer Protocol is described in
+ the publication by that name [1], incorporated here by reference.
+
+ Each AX.25 packet ("frame") is encapsulated in one IP datagram.
+ Normally no AX.25 frame will exceed 330 octets, so fragmentation at
+ the IP layer should not be necessary. However, experiments with
+ larger AX.25 frame sizes may require the use of standard IP
+ fragmentation and reassembly procedures.
+
+ When an AX.25 frame is encapsulated within an IP packet, HDLC framing
+ elements (flags and zero-stuffing) are omitted, as the IP datagram
+ adequately delimits the beginning and end of each AX.25 frame. The
+ 16-bit CRC-CCITT frame check sequence (normally generated by the HDLC
+ transmission hardware) is included. In all other respects, AX.25
+ frames are encapsulated unaltered.
+
+ Each such IP datagram shall have a protocol number of 93.
+
+Reference
+
+ [1] AX.25 Amateur Packet-Radio Link-Layer Protocol Version 2.0
+ October 1984. Available from the American Radio Relay League,
+ Newington CT USA 06111, and other sources.
+
+Security Considerations
+
+ Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
