Routing Information Field. Token-Ring header field used by a source routing bridge to determine through which segments it must send a packet.

Routing Information Field. Field in the IEEE 802.5 header that is used by a source-route bridge to determine through which Token Ring network segments a packet must transit. A RIF is made up of ring and bridge numbers as well as other information.

1. Ring Interface. A component of the Token-ring interface card that interconnects the serial data port of the TMS380C16 to the Token-ring interface card connector. 2. Routing Information Field. A field in the Token ring 802.5 header that is used by a source-route bridge to determine the path a packet must use when passing through a Token-ring network segment.

(Routing Information Field) That portion of the IEEE 802.5 MAC header of a datagram used by a bridge to determine to which Token Ring network segments a packet must transit. A RIF is made up of ring and bridge numbers.

Routing information field. A bit field that contains routing information.
