  • Multiple parallel asymmetric interfaces with reversed asymmetric links
    Patent number: 6366589
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating packet fragments over a symmetrical interface with reversed asymmetrical links. The method comprises the steps of coupling a first asymmetric interface to a computing device. The first interface has an up-link transmission rate greater than its down-link receiving rate. A second asymmetric interface is coupled to the computing device. The second interface has a down-link rate and an up-link rate. The down-link rate is greater than the up-link rate, the difference between the two rates defining a second asymmetric difference that is substantially equal to the first asymmetric difference. The apparatus comprises a first asymmetric interface having an up-link rate and a down-link rate. The down-link rate is less than the up-link rate wherein a difference between the up-link rate and the down-link rate defines a first asymmetric difference. A second asymmetric interface has a down-link rate and an up-link rate.
