摘要: An improved data transmission system including multiple local area networks (LANs) coupled by a hub that further includes LAN adapters to the LANs, and an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) crossbar switch coupling all adapters. frames are converted into concatenated slots of identical size transmitted through ATM switch. At least requesting adapter transmit frame serial communication controller (SCC) converts received data. The SCC also means for converting frames.
