A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE SIMPLIFICATION OF LEAF-LIMITED BRIDGES

摘要

A method of address management in a net having a plurality of buses linked (1001-1005) by a plurality of bus bridges (1006-1009) where the net has only one branch bus (1001) with multiple bus bridges. A local identification address is assigned to each node (1301) on a branch bus and a bus number is assigned (1302) to each bus other than the branch bus. The bus number includes a common base and the local identification address for the node having a portal that connects to that bus.
