DLSW+ is supposed to be a method to encapsulate sna packet over IP network.
and to do so, you need to create a virtual ring and join all the token ring
into that ring( the Source-bridge ring-group command), DLSW will pick up
the packet from the virtual ring and send them through the IP network.
And since most sna originate from Mainframe network which reside on Token
Ring based network, and thus the source-route bridge command will make sense
to bridge the token ring network to the virtual ring.
if there is no source-route bridge , won't it be a little bit misleading in
term of why you need DLSW in the first place ?
