[comp.protocols.ibm] PU4-to-PU4 over Token Ring

gorman@CACFS.ARMY.MIL ("Bryan L. Gorman") (06/07/89)

Folks,

I'm not a subscriber to this list, so I am not sure the following query
is appropriate for this forum.  At any rate, is there anyone out there
who can suggest a source for perfomance statistics of PU4-to-PU4
connections (372X or 3745) over Token Ring?  I'm trying to
determine some of the advantages of using the Token Ring as opposed to
SDLC links for PU4-to-PU4 connections; at least on the surface, it
would seem that Token Ring would offer a much wider bandwidth. I am
also interested in any experiences anyone might have using Token Ring
bridges (IBM, Halley Systems, or Microrim) to support PU4-to-PU4
connections.

Thanks in advance,
