If we are linking 2 sites with FDDI, does a full 100Mbit pipe have
to be available?
We can link Ethernet sites with a VITALINK bridge at speeds lower than
10Mbits, but can we do the same for FDDI?
The proposed link would be T3, 45Mbits/second.

I do not know of a product from Digital that can do this now. There may be something available in the future. I suggest you contact Neville Fleet (JANUS::FLEET) in Product Management who may be able to give you more information. jb | |||||

What type of traffic did you plan to send between the FDDI rings? Several 3rd-party vendors have routers available which can route TCP/IP and DECnet traffic from FDDI over a DS3 link to another FDDI ring. Some vendors have plans to also provide bridging capability (needed for LAT and VAXcluster traffic), but I don't know of any product available today. | |||||

re: .1 Thanks, I will.
re: .2 Yes, bridging is what I am looking for. Obviously, we can route.
Therefore, since we can't bridge, DECclustering over a router won't be
supported? What would be the minimum speed we would need to effectively
cluster over a bridged link given we might be shadowing?
