(AARP) packets.  AppleTalk nodes are numbered 0 through 255.  When
they go over ethernet, there is the problem of address mapping.  AARP
handles this duty much the same way as ARP.

80F3 is the protocol type for Apple Address Resolution Protocol (AARP). 
AppleTalk nodes are numbered 0 through 255.  When AppleTalk is over
ethernet, there is need for mapping an ethernet address to AppleTalk
address.  AARP handles this function.
