Configuring DLSw Services

Computing a DLSw Connection Path
For SRB LAN environments, the longest DLSw connection path can include up to
15 SRB LANs and 14 bridge elements. Some of these elements are physical,
others are logical (implemented in software).
For information on SRB LAN and bridge elements to count in other than Bay
Networks DLSw-capable nodes, see the appropriate manufacturer’s user
documentation.
Figure 2-6 shows an end-to-end path that traverses two Token Ring LANs and an
intervening TCP/IP network. A DLSw-capable Bay Networks router connects
each Token Ring LAN to the periphery of the TCP/IP network. The path shown in
Figure 2-6 contains the maximum of 15 ring elements and 14 bridge elements.
(Note that although the figure shows Token Ring LANs, DLSw supports all other
SRB LANs.)
