Between the first and last bridge receiving the SRF: The frame
received by bridge B from ring 3 has traversed at least one other bridge.

bridge does the following to the RIF before transmitting the frame to-
ward ring 2. (See figure 21.)
Locates the bridge ID that is located at the end of the HP group
address.
Changes the bridge ID at the end of the HP group address to the
bridge ID of the next bridge in the RIF. (In this example, all bridge
IDs are the same, so the frame is not modified.)

several bridges traversed by the frame. This bridge does the following to
the RIF of the frame it receives, before transmitting the frame toward
ring 1. (See figure 21.)
