I am interested in opening a dialog on large scale AppleTalk networking.
 
I work for Hughes Aircraft. We have a very large extended Ethernet network.
It spans most of southern California and several other states. We are 
basically a bridged network. We currently 'support' about 60+ protocols
on our Ethernet.
 
We filter AppleTalk Phase 1 between all major sites. We are filtering
Phase 2 between several areas. The phase 2 filtering is due to various
problems that we have experienced. Excessive multicasts, invalid RTMP
data, phantom zones, to name a few.
 
Please contact me (or this list).

ps: we have about 8,500 mac, 15,000 pcs, about 2-3000 other appletalk
    devices. (thank goodness they are not all networked).
