528.0. "Fibronics experience?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG (Faraday Chong@hgo (852)8053590) Fri Apr 03 1992 12:00

    I would like to know if there are customer sites that have both Fibronics'
    and Digital FDDI equipment, if they co-exist peacefully, if they
    interopate well, what Fibronics and Digital equipment are using etc.
    I know of one site in Asia and will post finding once I have full details.
    I hope others will share their experience in here as well.

	Faraday,
	
	I was involved in a customer interoperability test involving 
	a FIBRONICS translating bridge model FX8210-XE, a DECconcentrator 500,
	and a DECbridge 620. We experienced no problems and the customer is
	currently deploying a large campus FDDI backbone using equipment from
	both vendors.

    Long ago, there was some competitive information from the DEC FDDI
    marketing people indicating that the Fibronics equipment became a
    bottleneck at a very low traffic level, say under 10 Mbps. I remember
    getting this stuff at a NetU, but you might want to contact prod mkting
    for info as to whether this is still true.
