  • Network interface and method for providing complete reception of data
    Patent number: 5909648
    Abstract: A network interface terminates communication between a disconnecting party (i.e., requesting a disconnect from the network interface) and a disconnected party in communication with the disconnecting party. The disconnecting and disconnected parties are connected to first and second networks, respectively. When receiving a disconnect request from the disconnecting party, the network interface initiates communication termination for the disconnecting party. If there is no buffered data to be transmitted to the disconnected party, the interface begins communication termination for the disconnected party. Otherwise, the interface transmits the buffered data to the disconnected party and then initiates communication termination for the disconnected party.
