Abstract
Describes the design of a fast bridge between two Cambridge ring local area networks. The main requirements are high speed, a flexible addressing range and high reliability. The bridge implemented is in day to day use as part of TRICE, the distributed computing system implemented at the Department of Electronics and Computer Science at Southampton University. The performance and reliability obtained in service are discussed.
