The IBM 6611 Network Processor routes AppleTalk protocol. The IBM 6611 --
which also supports routing for TCP/IP, DECnet, NetBIOS, IPX and XNS

AppleTalk
---------
AppleTalk, Apple's local area network protocol suite, is built into every
Macintosh computer and networked LaserWriter, and provides users with easy
access to network resources. The dynamic nature of AppleTalk allows easy
growth, change and automatic reconfiguration of networks. AppleTalk
ensures resources are viewed in a consistent manner, independent of the
computing platform on which the resources reside. AppleTalk protocols are
broadly licensed and supported by leading equipment manufacturers.
