发明名称 NETWORKING AND INPUT/OUTPUT HUB BASED UPON USB
摘要 PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an improved computer system network by allowing multiple hosts to be present in a network based upon a USB and allowing a networking hub to include integrated virtual network adapters adaptive to communication among the hosts. SOLUTION: The networking hub 200 includes subhubs 202, 204 and 206, which have relative virtual network adapters(VNA) 210, 212 and 214. The subhubs 202, 204 and 206 are connected to a single up-stream host by connections 220, 222 and 224 and connected to USB devices on ports 230, 232 and 234. The VNAs 210, 212 and 214 of the respective subhubs 202, 204 and 206 are interconnected through local interconnection 240 to enable communication among the subhubs 202, 204 and 206, and the communication is carried out through the VNA system to enable the hosts to communicate with one another.
