PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To interconnect a token passing bus type FL-net LAN and a CSMA /CD (carrier sense multiple access/collision detection) Ethernet (registered trademark) type LAN. SOLUTION: An interconnection device 100A transmits an Ethernet packet from an Ethernet LAN line 50 by utilizing an idle time of an FL-net LAN line 40. The idle time is a short time from transmission of a token packet from a station #41 to a station #42 of the FL-net LAN line 40 until output of the data packet from the station #42. An interconnection device 100B transmits the Ethernet packet to be transmitted on the FL-net LAN line 40 to an Ethernet LAN line 60. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
