I believe the reference in the RFC was intended to cover the local      c-
SDLC to LLC2 configuration supported by the IBM 6611.  DLSw could also
be used to provide such functions as local Ethernet to Token-ring link
switching, which we support today only in the remote configuration.
As Wayne Clark and Shannon Nix's appends point out, bridging may or
may not provide a better local solution depending on the configuration
and what you are trying to accomplish.
