BRIDGED TOKEN RING NETWORKS
Figure 3-5 illustrates the bridging of two Token Ring networks running at
different operating speeds using a Token Ring to Token Ring network
source-route bridge, the TRBMIM-T. Bridging is necessary when the
networks are operating at different ring speeds (one at 4 Mbps and the
other at 16 Mbps), or when there is a need for networks to be connected
and one or both of the rings is at maximum station capacity.
