Abstract
A data communications system accommodates high transfer rates of non-isochronous data to and from a communications medium handling isochronous data. The system suitably includes an interface for transmitting non-isochronous data to and from a first system, such as a host system, and transmitting isochronous data to and from a second system, such as a WAN. The interface includes a clear-to-send (CTS) signal generated by the system receiving the non-isochronous data. If the CTS signal is asserted, the sending system continues to provide data to the receiving system. On the other hand, if the CTS signal is deactivated, the sending system withholds the non-isochronous data for the relevant channel until the CTS is reasserted. In an exemplary embodiment, the CTS signal is an out-of-band hardware-implemented signal, which tends to provide optimal simplicity and speed.
