Figure 1-6. Ethernet/802.3 to FDDI Translation
The translation process from the FDDI LAN to Ethernet/802.3 LAN (the process
bridge B performs in Figures 1-5
and 1-6) is a mirror image of the translation
process occurring on bridge A, with one exception: the bridge translates an
AppleTalk ARP frame that originates on the FDDI LAN and is destined for an
Ethernet/802.3 LAN as shown in Figure 1-7
.

802.3 to FDDI translation
Bridge A
• Extracts addressing information from the 802.3 header.
• Incorporates address information into newly generated FDDI MAC header with no length (LEN) field.
• Encapsulates 802.3 data within FDDI frame.
• Recalculates FCS.
