I believe, and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, that it is
not required, because the ethernet router will fragment the packets as
necessary if they are larger than 1500 bytes. I believe that you use the lf
[frame size] if the fragmentation is causing a problem, but it is not
absolutely essential. Maybe someone with production dlsw experience could
tell us if using lf is a best practice, or if it is generally not required
when going from ethernet to token ring?

~When using tcp encapsulation between DLSW peers, one Token
~Ring, the other
~Ethernet, is it necessary to use the lf (largest frame size) command to
~limit Token ring frames to 1500? Or is this handled automatically?

~Thanks.
