| I've determined that they are not unique to DNA; my MAC spec.
predates their definition.
I would appreciate answers to the other questions posed in .0.

| The ANSI SMT standard has all the details.
Basically, directed beacons are used as part of the procedure that discovers
and notifies about (possible) duplicate addresses.

Directed beacons are sent out by the station stuck beaconing.
When the beacon process fails (doesn't see it's own beacons after
about 7 seconds) the station sends out directed beacons for
about 400 msec. Anybody who can capture one of these frames will
find them useful. The SA tells you who was stuff beaconing, and
a field in the frame tells you it's last known UNA. Very good
stuff if you are getting PC Traces...

| I learned a great deal about the function and value of Directed
Beacons since posting the base Note by reading the standards and
responses to MAIL.
Too bad the analyzer vendor I'm using didn't bother to include
these in their MAC frame filter templates...I've created my own and it
should help trap the source of the failure.
