Is it fair to say that in DLSw+, the only time an address needs to be
bit swapped is if an Ethernet resource is being advertised via
"ICANREACH" to potentialy "token-ring possessing" clients. Can the
reverse also be true?
I would assume that any resources advertised by the dynamic mechanisms
of DLSw+ would somehow do all this automatically. Is that correct?
