Design of a network interface adapter for hybrid-LANs

The authors discuss the design of a network interface adapter (NIA) suitable for hybrid local area networks (LANs). Efficient load sharing through two communication channels is an important function of the NIA. The design of the message distribution device for dynamic loading of messages is presented. This research provides a basic foundation for the implementation of hybrid-LANs as well as other hybrid-type architecture LANs.<
