    You should also take a look at the AX25 Version 2, Level 2
    specification: ftp://tapr.org/general/ax25.doc

    Although most implementations reflect this version of the
    specification, there is an update:
    http://www.tapr.org/tapr/pdf/ax25.2.2.pdf

    You can find additional information which may be useful on the TAPR web
    site: http://www.tapr.org/html/pktf.html
