Figure 2-6. End-to-End Path in a DLSw-capable Token Ring/802.5 Network
For mixed topologies (SRB and non-SRB LANs), an end-to-end connection path
includes an SRB and a non-SRB LAN. In such cases, do not exceed the maximum
number of SRB LAN and bridge elements allowed on the SRB LAN side of the
connection path.
Parallel Data Paths
If a valid bridging path already exists between two LANs, do not configure a
parallel DLSw connection path between the same two LANs (Figures 2-7 and
2-8). Parallel data paths allow frames to traverse the LANs twice which, in turn,
may confuse systems on the associated LAN segments.
