Notes: Including NetBIOS support (RFCs 2166, 1795 and 1434) For recovery from FR, PPP, or X.25 link failures Over FR and PPP For PPP and for login users Available in the Enterprise or High-Performance Enterprise code loads. For AS/400 RFS and NFS servers You must use a high-performance system card if you want the web server cache feature. The web server cache feature is not available in the standard, high-performance, enterprise, or high-performance enterprise code loads. The web server cache feature is available in a separate code load. For FR and PPP. Encryption, but not compression, also supports IPSec.

Notes: Routing of this protocol is not supported on X.25 interfaces; however, if this protocol is being bridged, the IP tunnel function can be used to send bridge packets over an X.25 interface. DECnet IV is supported on X.25 only in the IBM modes of operation, not in the DEC compatibility modes. Bridging is not supported natively on X.25; however, the IP bridge tunnel function can be used to send bridge packets over X.25 interfaces.
