Abstract
Madge Networks commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate advanced functionality of its Token Ring Switch Family. Testing evaluated several distinct areas. 1) Network Management - the switch provides full support for RMON including Token Ring extensions, 2) Traffic Management - the switch reduces unnecessary broadcast traffic and guards against broadcast storms, and 3) Inter-Switch Links - the switch delivers high-performance connectivity to both FDDI and ATM networks.
