C'est bien la première fois que j'entends parler de ça.....
<BR>Voici une courte explication que j'ai trouvée, ce semble se mettre en place uniquement sur un backbone de repeteurs, en environnement non switché...
<BR>
<BR>"10BaseFB
<BR>
<BR>The 10BaseFB specifications describe a synchronous signaling backbone segment that allows the limit on the number of repeaters that may be used in a given 10 Mbps Ethernet system to be exceeded. In other words, the 10BaseFB specification is a synchronous Ethernet link between repeaters that extends the limit for repeaters and segments in a single unbridged network.
<BR>
<BR>10BaseFB links typically attach to repeater hubs, and are used to link special 10BaseFB synchronous signaling repeater hubs together in a repeated backbone system that can span long distances. Individual 10BaseFB links may be up to 2000 meters in length. This system has a limited market and equipment is available from only a few vendors."
