parameter) must be used. The ISR traffic uses LLC Type 2 LAN frames. The
HPR traffic is handled in similar fashion to LLC Type 1 LAN frames and must
have a different SAP address.

The default SAP address for HPR traffic is X'C8'. If X'C8' has already been used
by another protocol on a port, the default must be overridden.

Note: There is only one APPN link station even though APPN ISR and HPR

traffic use different SAP addresses.

For Frame Relay ports:

APPN ISR traffic and APPN HPR traffic transferred over a frame relay data link
connection supports both the RFC 1490 bridged frame format and the RFC 1490
routed frame format.

– RFC 1490 routed frame format

APPN ISR traffic will be transferred over a frame relay data link connection
using the connection-oriented multiprotocol encapsulation method defined in
RFC 1490 using:

- NLPID = X'08' (Q.933 encoding)

- L2PID = X'4C80' (Layer 2 protocol identifier indicating 802.2 LLC)

- L3PID = X'7083' (Layer 3 protocol identifier indicating SNA-APPN/FID2)

APPN HPR traffic transferred over a frame-relay data link connection does not
use IEEE 802.2 LLC. It uses a different multiprotocol encapsulation as defined
in RFC 1490 using:

- NLPID = X'08' (Q.933 encoding)

- L2PID = X'5081' (Layer 2 protocol identifier for no Layer 2 protocol)

- L3PID = X'7085' (Layer 3 protocol identifier indicating SNA-APPN/HPR)

APPN HPR does not use a SAP for traffic transferred using the RFC 1490
routed frame format because there is no Layer 2 protocol.

– RFC 1490 Bridged format

APPN HPR uses a SAP for traffic transferred using the RFC 1490 bridged
frame format.

v

For PPP ports:

– APPN ISR traffic uses 802.2 LLC over the PPP connection.

– Since there is no layer 2 protocol used in HPR’s RFC 1490 encapsulation, no

SAP is used for HPR traffic.

v

For ATM ports:

– APPN ISR traffic is not supported over native ATM ports. However, two types

of APPN traffic as defined by RFC 1483 are supported:

- During link station bring up, XIDs are transported using the following frame

format:

v

NLPID = X'09'

v

Layer 2 protocol ID = X'4C80' (802.2 LLC header present)

v

Layer 3 protocol ID = X'7083' SNA APPN (FID2) including XID3

- HPR traffic is transported using the following frame format:

v

NLPID = X'09'

v

Layer 2 protocol ID = X'4C80' (802.2 LLC header present)
