APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF ACCESSING NETWORK MEMORY

摘要

PURPOSE: A network memory access apparatus and method thereof are provided to flexibly overcome the limit of a memory capacity by using a network memory. CONSTITUTION: An MAC(medium access control) processing unit(30) is connected to a physical layer of a network. An MAC processing unit outputs a memory command by analyzing a frame received from the physical layer. A memory control unit(31) outputs first data received from the network to the network memory or outputs second data outputted from the network memory to the network.
