Abstract
A controller for use in a local area network includes an arbitration circuit that permits data communication between a processor and a buffer memory associated with the controller to take priority over data communication between controller and buffer memory. The arbitration circuit interrupts a controller-initiated read or write cycle upon the receipt of a read or write memory access request from the processor.
