摘要: A network switch includes a plurality of first ports coupled to bus, second bridge interface enabling data transfer between the buses, manager controlling flow data, and processor for performing supervisory control functions. The operate according different protocols, buses bus standards. During packet transfers across emulates port. primarily acts as slave by storing lists execution ports, thus relieving overhead functions associated with bus.
