A network storage device receives data from and transmits data to a plurality of network devices via a single serial network link. The network storage device has a cache selector, for transferring data associated with individual ones of the plurality of-network devices to corresponding cache queues. Data is output from a cache queue to the storage device when at least one complete block can be written to the storage device, and from the cache queue to the serial network link when at least one complete frame can be transmitted.

Network storage device and method for data transmission via a single serial network link

The invention is directed to a computer system comprising a server and a client and a method for operating a remote procedure call handler in the client and the server. The Method for operating a remote procedure call handler in the client according to the invention comprises the following steps:

In the method for operating a multi-port bridge for the routing, differentiated in accordance with traffic classes, of data packets which are subdivided into different priority classes in accordance with the IEEE802.1D standard, an additional traffic class 'isochronous channel' is introduced. The multi-port bridge is configured in such a manner that at least one predetermined port in the case of unidirectional transmission and at least one predetermined port pair in the case of bidirectional transmission is operated in the 'forwarding' state in which the predetermined port or the predetermined port pair forwards data packets of the additional traffic class IC from a queue. During the forwarding, all ports are deactivated with the exception of the predetermined port or port pair. The isochronous data stream is not restricted to one port or port pair but can be executed several times in dependence on the data rate of the transmission channel.

Method for operating a multiport MAC bridge having ports which can be switched off according to an isochronous data stream at one port or port pair in ethernet LANs

The invention relates to a storage medium on which a set of data is stored, whereby a first data section of the data set is stored in a read-only memory area and a second data section of the data set is stored in a read/write memory area, and the data set comprises language-independent data and language-dependent data. The data set can be processed in a handling device either in a first processing form related to a first language, or in a different processing form related to a second language. Language-independent data and language-dependent data which are related to the first language are included in the first data section, and language-dependent data which are related to the second language are included in the second data section. For the processing in different form, data from the second data section as well as data from the first data section are to be used.
