Enabling Source Routing over a Token Ring Network
The IP router can route over token ring networks that contain one or more source
routing bridges.
In a source routing network, every end station that sends a frame supplies the
frame with the necessary route descriptors so that it can be source routed across
the network. Thus, in order for IP routers to route packets across a source routing
network, they must act like end stations, supplying route descriptors for each
packet before they send it onto the network.
With end-node support enabled, an IP router does the following:
1. Receives a packet and determines that the packet’s next hop is located across a
source routing network
2. Adds the necessary routing information field (RIF) information to the packet’s
MAC header
3. Sends the packet onto the network where it is source routed toward the next
hop
