  • Network communications intermediate interface
    Patent number: 5303238
    Abstract: A highly efficient and cost effective system, which may be physically located locally to a group of workstations, performs communications rerouting at the network session level. The intermediate system changes data packet headers as necessary to make such rerouting transparent to the devices which are connected to it. Data packets are otherwise unaltered. The intermediate system can be used to connect to a plurality of workstations and to a network in such a manner that each workstation appears to be directly connected to the network.
