Abstract
A communication bus is split into two sections. When a station connected to one section indicates that it wishes to exchange a message at higher than normal speed via one section, a bridge station isolates the two sections, interrupting transfer of the content part of the message to the other section, and substitutes a dummy content part in the message on the other section.
