Greg, the following passage is from Page 2:

   Token-Ring Remote systems that are accessed through the Data
   Switch appear as systems attached to an adjacent ring.  This
   ring is a virtual ring that is manifested within each Data Link
   Switch.

What this implies is that the source route bridging hops end at the
Data Link Switch since everything accessed through the Data Link
Switch appears to be a station on the DLSw virtual ring.  However,
it appears that this point needs to be clarified with additional
text.
