My customer has several DECbridge 900mx's and is essentially running
dedicated personal ethernet out the front ports. He currently has
about 14 workstations attached to DECbridge 900MX on a ring. When
using HUBwatch for VAX v3.0, through the DECbridge 900mx summary page
and the FDDI summary info. ... it says he is running @ 27-34%. Customer
was very concerned at that utilization for only 14 workstations. So
he put a analyzer on net and saw only 2-5% utilization.
Is this FDDI info different than what the customer is looking for ...
which is ring utiliztion...

My guess is that you have Ring Purger enabled on at least one DEC FDDI
station - this could be a concentrator or bridge or end station. With
Ring Purger enabled, void frames get figured into the utilization
calculation. Find out which station it is, and disable it. Also,
you could use the analyzer to confirm that there is indeed a
large amount of void activity on the ring.
