This is off the top of my head. I don't remember offhand all of
the options which we've implemented or not implemented. I'll try
to complete the list, but this is a start.

Options supported
- Dual Homing for connection failover
- Restricted Token Monitor for detecting abusive restricted token
dialogs
- The generation and reception of JAM Beacon frames during duplicate
address detection. This helps notify the station with the duplicate
address (and network management) of the condition.
- The generation of Directed Beacon frames during ring fault recovery,
specifically a Stuck Beacon condition in which the logical ring is
not forming.
- We've also implemented extra duplicate address detection, beyond
that which is specified in the Neighbor Notification Protocol.
Options not supported
- Status Report Protocol
- Parameter Management Protocol: We are pushing the use of SNMP,
DECmcc ELM, and DECelms to manage FDDI devices.

| Hi again,
Thank you for RE.1. I would like to know a just little more detail for
supporting SMT. I have made the following matrix. If someone fill this
out for DEC products, I would be very appreciated. I need this for connection
DEC and other vendors.
Thanks in advance,
Naoki
