	RFC 1234:

        Title:      Tunneling IPX Traffic through IP Networks
       	Author:     D. Provan
	Mailbox:    donp@Novell.Com
	Pages:      6
	Characters: 11,995
	Obsoletes/Updates:  none

		pathname: rfc/rfc1234.txt


This memo describes a method of encapsulating IPX datagrams within UDP
packets so that IPX traffic can travel across an IP internet.  This
RFC specifies a Proposed Standard Protocol for the Internet community,
and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.  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.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, NIS.NSF.NET, or
NISC.JVNC.NET.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, with the pathname
rfc/rfcNNNN.txt (where "NNNN" refers to the number of the RFC).  Login
with FTP username "anonymous" and password "guest".

SRI also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to MAIL-SERVER@NISC.SRI.COM and
in the body of the message indicate the RFC to be sent: "send rfcNNNN"
where NNNN is the RFC number.  Multiple requests may be included in
the same message.

To obtain RFCs from NIS.NSF.NET via FTP, login with username
"anonymous" and password "guest"; then connect to the RFC directory
("cd RFC").  The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1 (where "nnnn"
refers to the number of the RFC).

The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank.  The first line of the text of
the message must be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.

RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NISC.JVNC.NET, with the
pathname rfc/RFCnnnn.TXT.v (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the
RFC and "v" refers to the version number of the RFC).

JvNCnet also provides a mail service for those sites which cannot use
FTP.  Address the request to SENDRFC@JVNC.NET and in the subject field
of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFCnnnn" where
nnnn is the RFC number.  Please note that RFCs whose number are less
than 1000 need not place a "0". (For example, RFC932 is fine.)  No
text in the body of the message is needed.

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to
POSTEL@ISI.EDU.  Please consult RFC 1111, "Instructions to RFC
Authors", for further information.

Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
