I've created a separate article for AX.25 (previously it was a redirect to this one) and will soon be removing much of the AX.25-specific information currently here. See Talk:AX.25 for more information.

I've removed most of the information on AX.25, which now lives over at its own page.

Below is additional information on network layers that used to be in this article. I removed it because it strikes me as non-NPOV and too short on details. (Furthermore, I question whether IP-based packet radio networks are in wide use.)

Today, many layer 3 protocols, such as IP, ROSE, TheNET, and many more, exist for AX.25 specializing in the needs of amateur radio. IP packets in particular are regularly routed on AX.25 networks, providing a routable layer on top of AX.25. This, therefore, allows for TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and ICMP/IP networking, including but not limited to HTTP, FTP, etc.

If you can contribute more information on the network layer protocols designed for packet radio, or indeed any information at all about the backbone network, please do so.

This page needs some work. There are many grammatical and typographical errors.
