Kantor +Request for Comments: 1226 Univ. of Calif San Diego + May 1991 + + + 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.
