Abstract
A link layer controller comprises a network layer interface, a physical layer interface, and a memory controller. The network layer interface exchanges packets with the network layer system and transfers a status signal to the network layer system. The physical layer interface exchanges the packets with the physical layer system. The memory controller exchanges the packets with the network layer interface, a memory, and the physical layer interface. The memory controller also generates the status signal to indicate available space in the memory.
