The translation bridge service
• Supports communication between systems on SRB and Ethernet/802.3
segments locally attached to the same router
• Maps between SRB and Ethernet/802.3 framing requirements
Memory Requirements
DLSw provides buffering of LLC2 packets in single switch mode, and additional
buffering of TCP packets in dual switch mode. Therefore, DLSw can use a
significant amount of memory.
To limit the memory consumption, Bay Networks provides several mechanisms,
including
• LLC2 Max Links parameter, allowing the network administrator to limit the
number of LLC2 stations per interface. Refer to Configuring LLC Services.
• DLSw Max Slot Sessions parameter, allowing the network administrator to
limit the number of LLC2 stations per slot. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
accessing and editing the Max Slot Sessions (DLSw global) parameter.
• Technician Interface commands, allowing the user to limit the total memory
used by DLSw.
