SRT would be used when you need a router to do either SRB or TB, but not
between the two. (i.e. will not do the required canonical to non-canonical
bit flipping that occurs in translational bridging). I guess you would use
this when you have multiple but separate bridging processes going on at the
same time on the same router. However, you would only be able to bridge an
ethernet interface to another ethernet interface and a token-ring interface
to another token-ring interface. I probably just reiterated your question
because I cannot imagine ever actually needing to do this. Also sorry if
I'm insulting your intelligence - as the creator of this list and former
instructor of mine, you're probably looking for a more in-depth response.
If I remember correctly, the ACRC student text had a SRT scenario in it.

Does anyone know in what scenario you would use Source Route Transparent
bridging? The bit-order problem seems to rule out the use between token
ring and ethernet.
Thanks,
