Brian: From a previous post (edited):

The last bit of a SSAP is the C/R bit, where 0 is command and 1 is
response.
(as you noted)

 The last bit of a DSAP is the I/G bit, where a 0 is individual, and a 1
is
group. Hence DSAP 04 is SNA Path Control Individual, and DSAP 05 is SNA
Path Control Group. (so you need 0d to cover group DSAPs).

I'm guessing that NetBIOS, and IPX (F0 and E0) also use group DSAPs,
hence the
01 01 mask.

HTH, Fred.
