DLSw: Data-link switching

Data-link switching (DLSw) provides a forward mechanism for transporting IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) traffic over an IP network. DLSw does not provide full routing, but instead provides switching at the SNA Data Link layer (i.e., layer 2 in the SNA architecture) and encapsulation in TCP/IP for transport over the Internet.
