Where can I find a description of the method used to translate FDDI to

There is some discussion of this in our new WWW info on the switches
under:

Some other resources to look at:
- the AppleTalk link on the WWW switch page contains a description
of the translation algorithm
- IEEE 802.1h is the standard
- Digital Technical Journal, Sep '91 has an article
- Currently published version of Bridge and Extended LAN Reference
In general there are 4 cases that translation looks at: 802 packets;
Ethernetv2 packets; AppleTalk (also called NTP or non-translated
protocol); raw 802 IPX.
