segmenis per Superloop
In this configuration, 1 segment is assigned to 1 Superloop and an additional
3 segments are assigned to another Superloop (see Figure 8). This
configuration provides a virtual non blocking environment for the single
segment served by the
fiist
Superloop and a medium concentration of
TNS
to Tiieslots for the 3 segments assigned to the additional Superloop, as
described in the preceding examples. Two NT8DO4AA Superloop Network
Cards and one NT8DOlAD Controller-2 Card are used to implement a 1
segment and 3 segment per superloop configuration.
