Abstract

See full text

A translation engine for translating frames of data from one frame format to another frame format in the same manner as an IEEE 802.1D MAC-layer transparent bridge as required when transferring frames of data between interconnected heterogeneous local area networks. The translation engine is comprised of a variable length data pipeline capable of maintaining a constant synchronous data stream comprising frames of data from the input to the output of the data pipeline, without introducing any gaps in the data stream caused by removing fields of a frame, or causing the data stream to halt by inserting fields of a frame during translation of a frame from one frame format to another frame format.
