SUMMARY
Source routing in NetBEUI is only supported if the network interface card
(NIC) is Token Ring. In a NetBIOS Frames (NBF) FDDI Frame, the source
routing information bit is not set and the registry parameters associated
with source routing (QueryWithoutSourceRouting and so forth) are ignored.
MORE INFORMATION
Transparent source routing or transparent bridging should be used
with the NetBEUI protocol and FDDI NIC in a WAN environment.
