<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide unified connector architecture. <P>SOLUTION: A system, device, and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises a first host controller that utilizes a first protocol. The system also includes a second host controller that utilizes a second protocol. The system also includes a unified connector port. Finally, the system includes a router that is coupled to the first host controller, the second host controller, and the unified connector port. The router is functionally capable of encapsulating a physical layer packet received from the first host controller into a first unified connector protocol frame and then transmits the new first frame to the unified connector port. The router is also capable of encapsulating a physical layer packet received from the second host controller into a second unified connector protocol frame and then transmits the second frame to the unified connector port. The first and second protocols are not the same protocol. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
