APR: Automated Packet Recognition

Automated Packet Recognition (APR), also known as Automated Packet Recognition/Translation(APaRT), is a technology that allows a server to be attached to CDDI or FDDI without requiring the reconfiguration of applications or network protocols. APaRT recognizes specific data link layer encapsulation packet types and, when these packet types are transferred from one medium to another, translates them into the native format of the destination device.
