While looking at one of our fddi rings I saw a fair number of 10 byte
fragment frames which had just the initial frame code byte, a valid
local destination address, and half of a source address.  Is this
"normal"?  My analyzer was set to select only LLC frames to or from a
certain address, and the ring has 2 concentrators (cascaded), 2 fddi-
to-ether bridges, 2 big vaxes and an sgi machine.  I was selecting on
the sgi's address.
