Understanding Token-Ring Source Routing

This AppNote describes how source routing works with the IEEE 802.5 Token-Ring Network. As the first in a series of AppNotes on NetWare's source routing implementation, this document explains basic concepts necessary to understand how source routing works in a generic Token-Ring environment. It covers frame structure, route determination processes, and source-routing bridge operation.
