2526.0. "IP is better than IPX!" by SNOFS1::63496::SYSTEM () Sun Jul 16 1995 21:48

    re .2/.3
    
    Thanks for your help!
    
    Customer also tested with IP (using ftp) the same PC but to AXP running
    OSF/1 V3.2, the performance using Ethernet-Ethernet is still better
    than Ethernet-FDDI-Ethernet (via two DS900EFs) and is about 10-15%.
    This gives me an idea that IPX is not so good even in LAN when compared
    to IP. We will try to look into their Netware configuration to see
    whether we can do some tuning. Some questions need clarification:
    
    1) What is the difference between using Ethernet Frame and 802.3 frames
    in Netware? 
    
    2) When DS900EF translate ethernet frames to FDDI, is there any
    difference between Ethernet II and 802.2/3 frame?
    
    
    thanks again for help/idea.
