949.0. "IP Frame Switching docs/info & Firmware revs ?" by CHEFS::rasmodem9.reo.dec.com::Harvey () Thu Mar 13 1997 15:16

A quick query.....

What firmware release is required to support the IP Frame Switching facility?

Is the paper IPPACKET.DOC the right documentation describing how to set it up 
or is there a more detailed set ?

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

        The firmware doesn't exist yet, although test releases are
    imminent.

949.2Actual availability ?CHEFS::rasmodem6.reo.dec.com::HarveyFri Mar 21 1997 04:0910
Thanks Michael...

I had the impression that IP frame switching was already available and 
getting it running was almost a "do nothing" issue re: firmware.

Apart from test versions do we have an estimate for real availability ?

       Hazarding a guess, I'd say it should be out in a month or so.
