504.0. "All explorer packet and source route bridging" by CSCMA::MASOUD () Fri Mar 21 1997 16:10

    Hi,
    
    The following network topology have 4 token rings connected by 6 Source
    route bridges (copmlete Mesh topology). Token ring 2 and 4 are connected 
    via SRB 6 and token ring 1 and 3 are connected via SRB5. The question I
    have is if station X on token ring 1 sends an ALL Route Broadcast (all
    explorer) packet, how many copies of the explorer packets will arrive at 
    station Y on token ring 3. 
    
                     
       Station (X)--(tokenring 1)---------|SRB 1|----------(tokenring 2)
                         |\                                 / |
                         |   \                          /     |
                         |      \                   /         |
                       |SRB 4|       \           |SRB 6|    |SRB 2|
                         |             \  |SRB 5|             |
                         |               /      \             |
                         |        /   /               \       |
                    (tokenring 4)--------|SRB 3|----------(tokenring
    3)--Station (Y)
    
    
    Thank for your help,
