TOPIC




    Are there any third-party software products that allow simultaneous routing
    of TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk?

DISCUSSION


    Novell
    ------
    There's a Novell router-only product -- basically a Novell 3.11 server
    without the server capabilities. The product name is Novell Multiprotocol
    Router 1.0. It supports the routing of IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Arcnet.

    The NetWare Multi-Protocol Router v1.0 provides customers with a standalone
    router solution that includes the AppleTalk router. The Multi-Protocol
    Router provides routing of AppleTalk packets across a Novell network.

    IBM
    ---
    The IBM 6611 Network Processor routes AppleTalk protocol. The IBM 6611 --
    which also supports routing for TCP/IP, DECnet, NetBIOS, IPX and XNS
    networks and SNA data link switching -- enables AppleTalk users to connect
    to a wide variety of local and remote communications resources located on
    their network.

    AppleTalk
    ---------
    AppleTalk, Apple's local area network protocol suite, is built into every
    Macintosh computer and networked LaserWriter, and provides users with easy
    access to network resources. The dynamic nature of AppleTalk allows easy
    growth, change and automatic reconfiguration of networks. AppleTalk
    ensures resources are viewed in a consistent manner, independent of the
    computing platform on which the resources reside. AppleTalk protocols are
    broadly licensed and supported by leading equipment manufacturers.
