of how to Read a RIF field. I've read a paper written by someone on TR
Rif fields and was wondering if cisco.com had a link on it.  Could
someone please let me know. Thank ya much!

there's a link on Cisco's website that explains reading RIFs...

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/100/46.html

but it's not as good as Rossi's Token Ring White Paper.  Here is a link to a
page:

http://www.loopy.org/rif.cgi

that lets you test your RIF knowledge

In order to read RIFs, you *really* have to know your binary arithmetic.
This is especially critical because IBM doesn't format the RC part of the
RIF at byte or nibble boundaries.  If you're not up on hex to binary and hex
to decimal conversions, it will make your RIF reading that much more
difficult.
