Jason,
DLSw direct will have DLSw encapsulated directly over frame relay or
hdlc. It's only supported on token ring to token ring connections. All
keep alive go through end to end. it's not a reliable transport. Queuing is
also problem
DLSw Lite rides over LLC2 as you mentioned. It provides reliable transport
and is not limited to token ring to token ring connections (also supports
ethernet, SDLC, QLLC end systems)
configuration of both is very similar except you omit the "pass-through"
keyword for DLSw lite.
