How is LonTalk protocol processing split between the ShortStack Micro Server and my host processor?
The ShortStack Micro Server handles layers 1 through 6 of the LonTalk protocol. That is, it handles the physical, link (including MAC), network, transport, session, and presentation layers of the LonTalk protocol. Your host processor just handles the application layer (layer 7), which typically consists of simply sending and receiving network variable updates.
