3516.2Bug in the DECnis codeMARVIN::MCCLURETony McClure, DECnis Engineering RE02 FD9 7830-3564Wed Jan 29 1997 06:5514
Hi Daniel,

	I have investigated this problem in are lab, and what discovered
	the the W614/8 bridging code didn't implement the code to remove
	PPP padding from the end of bridging frames.

	The routeabout for some reason that isn't clear, always pads odd
	length bridging frames.

	I am working at producing a new image for you..

Cheers Tony

	Thanks for your quick analysis.

	After posting the note, I was busy setting up the test platform to 
	replicate the problem to IPMT it as the cust was getting concerned. 

	This explains why usernames like lang_ja, bartrim_w & guest were 
	failing while usernames lang_j, bartrim_wj, test, & daniel were
	successful. But we did see the problem also for routed frames of
	Decnet & IP. Did you notice the problem on all PPP frames or just
	bridge frames (NETBEUI) only? Our trace showed that none of the 3
	protocol frames were getting across the WAN link for odd size 
	names.

	The IRIS simultaneous trace files as mentioned in my IPMT are in
	ripper::sys$public: directory.

	Thanks. Can you please forward a few frames with & without problem 
	to sharpen my DTF tracing skill on the PPP link.
