Hi,

I am having trouble visualizing and explaining where IPX sits in the DoD
model or the OSI model.

I have heard it said that IPX is not routable, and assumed that this meant
that IPX does not carry network/node addresses around in the IPX header.
Is this correct?

Can anyone comment?  (Furiously looking at IPX code in Ethereal ...)

Regards
