139.0. "FDDI Ethernet Qs" by GLORY::KATZ (Follow your conscience) Fri Sep 21 1990 13:59

    I've got some questions that I hope someone can explain
    in english.
    
    1. How does that bit ordering differ between FDDI and Ethernet,
    i.e. are the datagrams different, if so how?
    
    2. How does FDDI tread node addressing? Since a bridge is considered
    a node is it addressable?
    
    3. How does FDDI handle TCP/IP ARPing?
    
    4. On the DECbridge 500 where does the buffering take place or
    do the different protocols handle this? It would seem that packets
    comig down the pipe from FDDI to ethernet would be considerably
    slowed at the bridge, right?
    
    Thanks for the answers.
