1106.0. "DECconcentrator 900MX performance" by ZPOVC::INDO03::FUNGSIONG (Digital Indonesia - Networks) Wed Oct 06 1993 08:36

    Hallo,
    
    With DEChub 900 coming out, I need some advice regarding our
    DECconcentrator 900MX (FDDI Concentrator module) performance. How is
    the performance compared to our DECconcentrator 500 or DECNIS FDDI
    controller cards? Also, is there a "bridging" capability between the
    FDDI concentrator and the Ethernet LAN connected to the same hub?
    
    Any advice appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Fung Siong

Concentrators are not bridges.  They either work or they don't.  They always
run at the full speed of the FDDI.  (They are somewhat analagous to repeaters
on Ethernet, but not really)
