The task of both packet types is to get the destination station to return speciÞc route information to the sending station by including an identiÞer for each ring the explorer packet traversed and for each bridge between any ringsBridging Basics Bridging About Source Route-Transparent BridgesAbout Source Route-Translational Bridges Bridging BasicsFor data that is restricted to the Token Ring networks available from the SR-TB bridgeÕs front panel, the bridging method used is user-conÞgurable via local management to be Source Route-only bridged packets must include RIF information and will be source routed no transparent bridging is enabled, Source Route-Transparent bridging method will be determined by whether the RII bit is set, or Transparent only no source routed packets will be bridged.
