When DLSW+ receives data from an Ethernet interface, it swaps the bits for
transport. When it gets to the destination, if it is Token Ring, it leaves
the bits swapped and passes on. If the destination is Ethernet, it swaps
the bits back and then forwards.
I hope that did not confuse you any more than it did me. :)
