Everything about MacIP

Standard within the AppleTalk Datagram Delivery Protocol

MacIP is a standard for encapsulating Internet Protocol (IP) packets within the AppleTalk Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP), as LocalTalk only carries AppleTalk. This allows Macintosh computers with LocalTalk networking hardware to access TCP/IP-based network services, typically over Ethernet. This was an important bridging technology during the era when Ethernet and TCP/IP were rapidly growing in popularity in the early 1990s. Wikipedia →
