Source Route Transparent Bridging

• Designed by IBM in 1990

• Allows to inter-operate source route bridges and transparent bridges on the same network

• Routing Information Indicator Bit is used to distinguish transparent bridging frames and source route bridging frames

• SRT bridging permits the coexistence of two incompatible environments (Ethernet and Token Ring)

• Spanning Tree Algorithm and Source Routing Path are used
