摘要: A distributed token ring (TR) bridge has a logical switch fabric that is distributed over a TR switching network of switches interconnected by trunk links. The distributed TR bridge includes a plurality of TR switches, each having a Bridge Relay Function (BRF) logically coupled to at least one Concentrator Relay Function (CRF). Distribution of the switch fabric essentially comprises logically distributing the BRF function among the network of switches.
