Vint,

Remember that level 2 does not really care about the ultimate destination,
only the "next-hop" IP address (which could also be the destination).
In most cases what X.25 needs to do is to translate the the IP address
OF THE GATEWAY into an X.121 address.  If an X.25 Call is received from
a gateway (or host), one can translate from the Calling X.121 address to
an IP address, so that the next time a packet needs to make that hop,
it can use the same SVC.
