Method and system for generating data frames for asynchronous over TCP/IP protocol

摘要

Described are a method and system for generating an asynchronous data frame. A character received from an asynchronous device is buffered. Each additional character from the asynchronous device is buffered if the additional character is received before the expiration of a predetermined interval measured from a time when a last buffered character was received. The one or more buffered characters are assembled as a data frame after the expiration of the predetermined interval if no additional character is received from the asynchronous device before the expiration of the predetermined interval. An encapsulated TCP packet that includes the data frame is generated for transmission across a TCP/IP network to a remote device.
