2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 2135 MicroBridge is an Ethernet Bridge
that provides LAN extension when used in conjunction with a
V.35 DCE device, such as a DSU/CSU, NTU, or router. The
Model 2135 performs transparent Ethernet bridging and func-
tions at the MAC level, thus is transparent to higher level pro-
tocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, NETBIOS, and IPX network
protocols. Only broadcast, multicast, or frames set up for
peered LAN are forwarded. The Model 2135 is 802.3
Ethernet compliant and supports PPP Bridging Control
Protocol (RFC 1638) on the DTE side.
