Can Wave Relay™ route traffic that is not running the Internet Protocol (IP)?
Wave Relay™ runs at layer 2 (like an Ethernet switch), so it can carry ANY protocol that runs over standard Ethernet. There are a number of non-IP industrial protocols that take advantage of this capability. This also means that all of your legacy IPX traffic will still be bridged through the Wave Relay™ network. This is particularly important for businesses that use Wave Relay™ to bridge offices together. Wave Relay™ appears to the network like a wireless wire. If you ran an Ethernet cable between your buildings to tie two switches together, Wave Relay™ would provide the same functionality.
