A communication device (bridge 10) for use in a computer network is provided, the various ports 12e-12h of which may be configured to function at different maximum rates. This permits maximum flexibility in the configuration of the network and allows a network manager to take account of the different needs of various users of the network when the configuration takes place. A counter (20), Fig.2, (not shown), provides a "leaky bucket" implementation of the flow control for each port. |
