  abstract =     "The integration of computer networks has made it
                 increasingly important for networking equipment to
                 simultaneously handle a variety of data communications
                 protocols. Networking products known as routers have
                 proven themselves capable of handling many
                 multiprotocol networking requirements, but have had
                 difficulty addressing some important network
                 configurations. Two of the most widely implemented
                 protocols, IBM's Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and
                 Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS*), have
                 characteristics that make it difficult for routers to
                 support them in the same way as routers support other
                 protocols. Networking vendors have devised a number of
                 methods for transporting SNA and NetBIOS data traffic,
                 but these methods have been largely nonstandard and
                 have had other disadvantages. Data link switching
                 (DLSw), initially developed by IBM, has attracted
                 considerable interest among router vendors as a
                 standard way to handle SNA and NetBIOS traffic and
                 avoid some of the problems of earlier methods. A
                 multivendor interest group within an IBM-sponsored
                 forum on Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking* has
                 developed and recently issued a standard DLSw
                 specification. This paper briefly compares DLSw to the
                 technologies that preceded it, provides a tutorial of
                 the Version 1 DLSw standard, and discusses possible
                 directions in which DLSw may evolve.",
