Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 5494. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

In this document an idea is submitted how IP and ARP can be used on inhomogeneous FDDI networks (FDDI networks with single MAC and dual MAC stations) by introducing a new protocol layer in the protocol suite of the dual MAC stations. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.
