3Com (3C16060) Bridge

Network performance improves when you use the very economical LinkBuilder Bridge MicroModule to segment local traffic from the backbone. Simply plug the module into the transceiver interface slot on the back of any LinkBuilder FMS II, FMS, or TP/12 hub--no configuration required. The self-learning local bridge automatically prevents network traffic jams. ??Performance improves dramatically because the LinkBuilder Bridge MicroModule prevents backbone traffic from flooding servers. The internal port learns up to 256 stations on the hub side, and the module's external AUI port supports any number of stations on the backbone. The micromodule performs at full Ethernet rates for consistent high performance.
