        At first I thought that might have something to do with EtherTalk
and supportting more than 254? nodes on a cable.  But, I found a reference
to DDP type 5 in my June 1986 copy of Inside AppleTalk on page V-9.  There
it is claimed to be a "RTMP request" which allows non-bridge nodes to
"request the numberof the network they are on and the address of a bridge
on that network".

        So, It doesn't look like an extension.  But is anyone, outside
Apple, using it?
