摘要: A local area network is provided for a plurality of autonomous computers (10) which operate at different rates and under protocols coupled by bus adapters (12) to global (14). host computer (HC) divides message file be transmitted into blocks, each with header that includes data type identifier trailer. The associated adapter (NBA) then the packets, transport trailer added frame code specifies one three modes addressing in transmission data, namely physical address mode using two bytes source destination addresses, logical mode. In mode, contains channel number (LCN) established between transmitting or more receiving computers. identifying data. Every NBA initialized accept specified types will automatically all it conditioned accept. Protocol handling carried out module NBA.
