Abstract
A client interface supporting a plurality of peripheral channels and a network channel. The peripheral channels include a maintenance channel, message input channel, message output channel, express channel and several DMA channels. The client interface routes packets from the network to the peripheral resources and prioritizes the dispatching of packets onto the network. Express packets and message packets are given priority over DMA type packets. Priority to dispatch is rotated among the DMA channels.
