DLSw Implementation Notes
This chapter provides important information about the Bay Networks DLSw
implementation. You should review this chapter if you are configuring DLSw on a
network for the first time. It covers the following topics:
• DLSw and Other Subsystems
• Combining DLSw and SRB
• DLSw and Bridging Services
• Parallel Bridge and DLSw Paths
• Multiple DLSw Peers on a LAN
• Memory Requirements
• TCP Considerations
• Flow Control
• DLSw Prioritization
• Protocol Prioritization
• Backup Peers
DLSw and Other Subsystems
A DLSw network configuration uses the services of other network subsystems.
When you select DLSw on an interface, the router software automatically selects
these required subsystems. In some configurations, the software requires that you
edit the parameters associated with these subsystems. Some parameters have
default values that you can either accept or edit. To simplify the editing of
additional parameters from multiple subsystems, the software combines these
parameters with the DLSw configuration screens.
