Fast explorer processing improves throughput on the network. SSRP and HSRP improve availability across the consolidated switched and routed network. Traffic can be controlled on the router and Token Ring switches via access lists and filtering. In many source-route bridged networks, parallel Token Ring networks provide redundant backbone connections. With source-routed ELANs, it is possible to create this same environment, as shown logically in Figure 2.
Load balances traffic and maintains redundant paths to critical centralized resources.
Provide High-Speed Server Access Server ring congestion is often an issue in today's Token Ring networks. Using multiple LEC instances, ATM servers can participate in multiple ELANs. HSRP provides dynamic backup of the IP default gateway. Availability Table 3 summarizes the availability of the products announced at this time. Inc. Important Notices and Privacy Statement .
