Patent number: 5461618Abstract: An adapter for connecting a first low bit rate transmission link and a second high bit rate transmission link is disclosed. The adapter receives frames transmitted via the first link. The frames are of variable length and include a flag, an address field, a control field, a variable length data field and a frame check sequence. Each frame also includes after the flag a length code indicative of the frame length, which length code does not alter a frame check sequence of the frame. The adapter includes a processor which determines for each frame in response to the length code a specific time at which the adapter begins transmitting the frame out onto the second transmission link. The specific time is chosen for each frame so that the completion of the transmitting of the frame out on the second link substantially coincides with the completion of the receiving of the frame from the first transmission link. The length code of each frame is removed when it is transmitted out over the second transmission link.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1992Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chi-Chang Chen, Shian-Ming Tzeng, Chen-Chi Fan
