NETWORK STATION WITH MULTIPLE NETWORK ADDRESSES |
摘要 |
<p>A new class of multi-function computer systems for attachments to networks is provided. The memory in medium access control device stores a plurality of additional network addresses in addition to the assigned network addresses. The address filtering logic includes circuits responsive to the additional network addresses, such as logic for blocking a particular frame on at least one of the plurality of data channels when the source and destination address of a particular frame are found in the additional addresses stored in the memory. The plurality of data channels served by the media access control device may reside on a single physical interface, or in independent physical interfaces as suits the needs of a particular design. A high performance design would include independent buffering and queuing structures for each of the data channels. An alternative design may include shared buffering and queuing structures for a plurality of functional modules in the connected computer which have independent side network addresses.</p> |
