A network based surgical system including a first medical device (104) having a first network interface (140), a second medical device (130; 132) having a second network interface (144; 146), a communications network over which the first medical device (104), through the first network interface (140), and the second medical device (130; 132), through the second network interface (144; 146), are communicable, wherein the first network interface (140) and the second network interface (144; 146) employ the same network protocol for communicating over the communications network, and wherein the first network interface (140) has a maximum throughput greater than a maximum throughput of the second network interface (144; 146). |
