Abstract

Comparative Token Ring bridge performance report. From the Tolly Group's 1993's Local Token Ring Bridge Industry Study.

The Acsys, two-port, multi-protocol bridge/router is based on SMC's Token Ring chip set. The test report compares Acsys to similar products from: 3Com, Cisco Systems, IBM, Madge Networks, Olicom, Proteon, and SynOptics Communications. 

The Acsys bridge performed well compared to the competition. 

Note: this document was scanned from the original printed report. While pages 3 and 4 of that original were missing, Tolly was able to restore those pages from a Quark layout file though the formatting for those two pages is not a final format. Also note that Tolly found a 1994 advertisement that was run in Network World highlighting the Tolly report. That was scanned and appended to this document.
