If I can get an ethernet forwarder up, I will demo it in D.C. this week. As per a few requests, it supports ARP, though it really doesn't seem necessary. One of the changes I had to make to PCIP was to include fragmentation/reassembly support, following RFC-815. I don't know if I can call it lightening fast, but it gets you past the ARCnet 508 byte MTU. Since it is at the IP level, it will (of course) be useable with other network interfaces. With any luck, it will be in the next release of PC/IP. If you would like to test drive it before then, contact me by e-mail. My thanks to all the people who contributed their thoughts about the hows and wherefores, as well as the equipment loans. An RFC from all this should hopefully be forthcoming, as soon as I can get a router up so I can collect some useful timing statistics... -Philip
