Abstract
A single-chip, network interface controller (NIC) integrated circuit (IC) with a host interface and arbiter common to two 10BASE-T ETHERNET local area network (LAN) segments with respective unshielded twisted pair interfaces, encoder-decoders, medium access controllers, first-in first-out register memory arrays, and buffer management. Source-address and destination-address content addressable memories are connected to respective MAC receivers in the medium access controllers to both learn the addresses of network clients on the two segments and then to transparently bridge packets between the LAN segments. The NIC effectively increases the bandwidth of a server connection to the thus unified network.
