METHOD AND DEVICES FOR TRANSFERRING DATA

摘要

The invention relates to a method, to a first and a second device (1, 2) and to a system (10) comprising the first and second device (1, 2) for transferring data, said system and devices matching the user data transfer rate during the data transfer between the first and the second device (1, 2). The first device (1) comprises in particular a medium access controller and operates in the second layer according to the OSI reference model, whilst the second device (2) transmits and receives user data in the first layer according to the OSI reference model and comprises an interface unit (24) for a DSL connection. The transfer rate match is achieved in particular by PAUSE frames according to the IEEE 802.3-2004 standard and the second device also operates in the second layer according to the OSI reference model to transmit and receive the PAUSE frames.
