SRTB all on ARE

Station A sends out a broadcast for station B. The ATX will see that

station A resides on P1 and enter station A into the Bridge Address

Table with no RIF associated. The ATX will then send an ARE (Null

RIF) out P2. Station B receives the ARE and replies to station A.

The ATX receives the reply on P2 and enters station B into the

Bridge Address Table with no RIF associated. The reply from

station B will not have any Ring or Bridge numbers so the ATX will

know it is directly attached and the session between A and station

B will be transparent.
