specification. See figure 16 for the encapsulation types and includes an example where a Routed IP packet is

Figure 16. FRS encapsulation conversion using Translate Mode
Transparent: The second translation mode option is to set the protocol value to transparent. Transparent is
used when the Protocol being used is not one of the 22 predefined encapsulation types, such as is the case

-
ently passed from one network to the other without any encapsulation conversions.
